Jeremy Paxman was named presenter of the year at the Royal Television Society Journalism awards.

He was praised for his 'vast range - from serious to the sensitive. From the interview with Tony Blair during the election campaign to an interview with Robin Cooke which effectively demolished the then Foreign Secretary as he battled to deal with relentless pursuit of the Euro currency to a sensitive and revelatory interview with George Carman'.
