The Courier-Mail named national/metro daily paper of the year

PANPAsNews Corp Australia’s The Courier-Mail was named the national/metro daily newspaper of the year at last night’s 2014 PANPA Newspaper of the Year Awards, while The Weekend Australian was named weekend newspaper of the year.

Fairfax Media The Newcastle Herald picked up the award for regional daily newspaper of the year, while The Gympie Times was recognised in the community newspaper of the year category.

News Corp was also recognised with the environment award for its 1 Degree’s environmental awareness campaign, while Fairfax’s North Richmond plant won print centre of the year.

The Newspaper Works CEO Mark Hollands said: “Newspapers from all over the Asia Pacific set an extremely high standard in their submissions and left our judges locked in debate over the major Newspaper of the Year winner.

“We have some of the best newspapers in the world and the Newspaper of the Year awards continue to attract great support despite the increasing commercial pressures on the industry and, therefore, newspaper colleagues. I’d like to thank everyone who took the time to enter, and in doing so, contributed to the sense of community of our industry.”

The Advertiser, Adelaide and Apple Daily in Taiwan were recognised for their news sites, with the Newcastle Herald’s news site named the best regional news site of the year.

mX’s app for smartphone was named the best mobile site.
