Daily Mail is crowned Press Media Title of the Year as judges hail its court victory over Prince Harry

London Press Club judges called the outcome of the Harry case a 'victory for journalism and a free Press', noting all 97 allegations were dismissed. The Daily Mail beat The Times, Telegraph, Economist and Sun to the prize at Stationers' Hall on Wednesday. Judges said the paper is read 'from Waitrose to the White House'. Paul Dacre warned the 'enemies' of the free press have not gone away.

Judges on the four-year battle: 'It and its journalists endured, stood firm - and won.'

Paul Dacre branded the case a 'conspiracy to destroy both a great paper and the free Press'.

Gabriel Pogrund won Journalist of the Year for his scoop on secret payments behind Nigel Farage's comeback.
