Turner, a second year History student, was awarded the prize by a panel of judges including Alan Rusbridger, Editor-in-Chief of Guardian News and Media, and Jon Snow, Presenter of Channel 4 News.

The judges said, “A unanimous verdict on far and away the best entrant….Camilla writes in measured yet authoritative tone. We have no doubt we’ll see her byline again.”

Georgia Lindsay, Editor of Cherwell, said, “I am super super proud of her.”
