The late Hugo Young, The Guardian’s senior political commentator, was honoured with a Special Prize at the Awards Ceremony 2004. He had been shortlisted for the Book Prize for Supping with the Devils: Political Journalism from Thatcher to Blair, but the judges instead presented his family with a Special Prize recognising his outstanding contribution to political journalism.
