DailyMail.com reporter Josh Boswell wins prestigious Los Angeles Press Award

A DailyMail.com Senior Reporter won a prestigious press award on Sunday for a story implicating the president in his son’s shady business dealings.

Josh Boswell, 30, won first place in the National Political/Government Reporting category at the Southern California Journalism Awards in Los Angeles.

The winning story, chosen from more than 2,300 entries, reported the allegations of a whistleblower who said they had a conference call in 2012 with then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter discussing a Latin American online gambling company.

The whistleblower revealed that Joe was active during the call discussing company details, appearing to be involved as a “silent partner.”

‘I am very happy to have won this award. There are so many great reporters in Southern California, so it means a lot to me that the judges approved my piece,” Boswell said.

The winning article, published on Nov. 7, showed that Joe Biden was at least aware of some of his son’s shady business dealings.

The Staff Senior Reporter has been working for DailyMail.com since 2019, covering topics ranging from alleged political corruption in the White House, the twists and turns of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s move to America, and intrigue surrounding the government’s study of UFOs .

He has regularly appeared on cable TV shows related to his DailyMail.com exclusive articles.

He has previously been nominated for three press awards, two in the UK and one in the US.

Boswell was born on the Isle of Wight, England, and grew up in North Wales. He attended the University of York, where he received a bachelor’s degree in philosophy, politics and economics.

Before moving to California in 2017 to be with his Los Angeles-born wife, Elizabeth, Boswell worked at the Times of London and its sister newspaper the Sunday Times, including at its world-renowned investigative unit, the Insight Team.

Sunday’s awards ceremony, the Los Angeles Press Club’s 65th annual event, took place at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles and was attended by celebrities including actress Sharon Stone and ex-NBA star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Boswell said the win was “justifiable,” especially after the First Son’s admission last week to tax crimes following a five-year federal investigation into his business dealings and alleged corruption involving his father.

“It was the culmination of years of researching sources and sticking to a story that has often been rejected elsewhere, and was made possible only by the determination and undaunted support of my editors.

In early 2021, DailyMail.com was the first to authenticate the infamous First Son’s laptop with the help of forensic cyber experts. Since then, we have led the way in reporting on alleged corruption in the Biden family.”

Deputy Executive Editor Martin Gould said, “We are very proud of Josh and his reporting, and we will continue to follow this important story wherever it leads.”
