Top award to column

THE Independent on Sunday's business section has won another leading prize for its coverage, confirming it as essential reading for anyone with an interest in the City, the economy and business in general.

Jeremy Warner, City Editor (above), has been named as Senior Financial Journalist of the Year in the prestigious Wincott awards for business journalism. The judges cited Mr Warner's 'incisive and highly readable' weekly columns. The Wincott Foundation's senior prize, also won in the newspaper's first year by Business Editor Christopher Huhne, is the premier award in financial journalism.

Jeremy Warner's column this week warns investors against following Sir James Goldsmith and George Soros into the frothy gold market.
