Consumer Money Title of the Year

Winner Your Money, The Daily Telegraph

The preliminary scores for this category suggested that each of the five names on the shortlist had plenty to play for by the time the formal judging session took place. Sure enough, the panellists gave plenty of thought to each of the quintet of media outlets under consideration before homing in on a winner. “It’s a close call but I’m siding with the Daily Telegraph’s Your Money section this year because I was more engaged with the overall tone and tenor of its offering compared with its perfectly worth rivals,” one judge suggested. “The Telegraph does a really good job covering money matters for its readers. First of all, it unearths the issues that matter. Second it puts in the hard graft of coming up with guidance, calls to action, etc, so that people can make informed choices and go about securing the best deals for whatever the personal finance issue that’s confronting them,” a second judge pointed out. “Unlike some of its rivals, I think the Telegraph produces sensible, practical coverage so that readers aren’t just left scared to death and in a state of paralysis, so fearful have they become of sorting out anything to do with their pension, investments, mortgage, or whatever,” a third judge commented.
