The Guardian has landed the most nominations for an individual newspaper for this year's British Press Awards with 14 on the shortlists published today.
In terms of overall nominations, close behind the Guardian is the Sunday Times with 13, the Independent with 12 and the Times with 11.
Tom Newton Dunn, the Sun's defence editor, is nominated three times, including for reporter of the year – along with his colleague John Kay – and scoop of the year, for his "Friendly fire kills Matty Hull story" story.
Newton Dunn is also shortlisted in the BPA's campaign of the year category, for the Sun's Help for Heroes initiative. He has already won the What the Papers' Say scoop of the year award for the Matty Hull story.
Overall, the Sun has nine BPA nominations, the same as the Daily Mail. The Mail on Sunday received eight nominations, while the Daily Mirror, the Financial Times and the Daily Telegraph share six each.
The Observer has five nominations and the Independent on Sunday and the Sunday Telegraph have two apiece. The Sunday Mirror has three nominations.
But there are no BPA nominations for the News of the World, the Daily Express, Sunday Express, Daily Star and Sunday Star
A News of the World source confirmed that the News International title did put forward entries for consideration by the BPA judges. However, Northern and Shell, publisher of the Express and Star titles, was unable to confirm at the time of publication whether any of their journalists or stories were put forward for nomination.
In the reporter of the year category, the Sun's Newton Dunn is up against competition from the Mail on Sunday's Dennis Rice, Andrew Gilligan of the London Evening Standard and the FT's Gillian Tett.
Others nominated for reporter of the year are Stephen Wright (Daily Mail), David Leppard (Sunday Times) and Lori Campbell (Sunday Mirror).
For scoop of the year, Newton Dunn faces rivals including the Daily Mirror's Stephen Moyes, David Leigh and Rob Evans of the Guardian, and the Sunday Times' Holly Watt and Robert Winnett.
The British Press Awards, organised by Press Gazette, were relaunched last year after a boycott in 2006 by Associated Newspapers and the Telegraph Media Group.
Shortlisted nominees were chosen by 100 judges drawn from all the national newspapers, the regional press and independent figures from the world of journalism.
The winners will be announced at the awards dinner on April 8 at the Grosvenor House hotel in London, hosted by Jon Snow.
Shortlists for newspaper of the year, journalist of the year and international journalist of the year are to be announced next week.
