The Fellowship was created in honour of Sir Harry Evans, one of the pioneers of modern investigative journalism.
The award-winning work he spearheaded as editor of The Northern Echo, The Sunday Times and The Times – from his celebrated campaign to obtain compensation for Thalidomide children, to exposing the cover-up of Soviet spy Kim Philby and unmasking corporate deception at the heart of the DC-10 Paris air crash in 1974 – made him the gold standard of courageous public interest journalism. He was voted by his media peers as the Greatest British Newspaper Editor of all time.
