THE Sunday Times news editor Anthony DeCeglie was named the state's Journalist of the Year at the WA Media Awards last night.

Reinforcing the newspaper's credentials as the state's leading newsbreaking organisation, The Sunday Times dominated the prestigious awards, picking up more prizes than any other media outlet, including the top awards in the news, sport, editing and photographic categories.

A series of breaking news stories about preventable suicides at Fremantle Hospital and the conduct of WA's Police Commissioner during the Hills bushfires secured DeCeglie the top prize, the Daily News Centenary Award for WA Journalist of the Year.

The judges said his work was "well out in front, doing investigative reporting that upheld the finest traditions of the craft".

DeCeglie also won Best Print News Coverage and Best Health Report.

Narelle Towie won two awards for her coverage of environmental issues in The Sunday Times, Best Environment Report and best Science Report.

Education reporter Yasmine Phillips won Best Indigenous Affairs Report for "Desert Dreams".

Photographer Daniel Wilkins secured the prized pictorial award of Best News Photographer for a dramatic image of a child refugee arriving at Christmas Island.

Multi-award winning cartoonist Greg Smith confirmed his funnyman status  by taking out Best Illustration.

Glen Foreman won Best Sports Award for a series of Hopman Cup scoops revealing the battle for WA's most prized tennis tournament.

And wordsmith David Cusworth was named WA Sub-Editor of the Year for the best three newspaper headlines.

The Sunday Times editor Chris Dore said: "It is fantastic to see the brilliant work recognised of so many of our dedicated and talented people. Our dominance in all the key newsbreaking categories clearly shows that while our newspaper is renowned for being a great relaxing read on a Sunday, it is also setting the news agenda in the state week after week through high-quality reporting and serious investigative journalism.

"The fact that The Sunday Times is recognised for dominating the media landscape while publishing just one day a week is a tribute to the exceptional standard of the paper every Sunday."

The columnist award named in honour of the late Matt Price, the legendary journalist from The Sunday Times and
The Australian, went to Andrew Probyn from the Canberra bureau of The West Australian.

The Clarion Award for Outstanding Contribution to Journalism was awarded to The West Australian's Steve Pennells.

The top TV news award went to Grant Taylor, from Seven News.
