newswards 2019 was hosted by ITV and Sky sports presenter Mark Durden-Smith at the Royal Lancaster hotel in front of over 450 guests, last Wednesday.
It was a particularly good night for News UK with The Sunday Times winning Sunday Newspaper of the Year for the third year running and praised for “offering astonishing value for money”.
The Guardian also had a highly successful evening winning three trophies: News Website of the Year, News App of the Year and the Grand Prix. The judges said that The Guardian ticked all the boxes and was compelling, urgent and deeply engaging.
Scotland’s The Press and Journal won Regional Daily Newspaper of the Year while the National Printer Award was contested so closely there were two winners – Newsprinters and St Clements Press.
Gary Cullum, director of newsawards, says: “Although the mode of news delivery may continue to evolve, our successful news brands that draw their lifeblood from quality and targeted content grow greater audiences by the week as they continue to reinforce trust in our brands.
“Tonight provided ample evidence that news media in all its formats has an integral role to play in countries around the world.”
