PANPA: SMH is newspaper of the year while News Ltd wins digital prizes

Fairfax dominated the major print categories at last night’s Newspaper of The Year Awards, while News Ltd did the same in the digital categories.

The Sydney Morning Herald was named PANPA (Pacific Area Newspaper Publishers Association) daily newspaper of the year in the 90,000+ circulation category for the second year running, while Sydney stablemate the Sun-Herald was the Sunday paper of the year.

Meanwhile, News Ltd won newspaper innovation of the year for its iPad app for The Australian, while the company’s adelaidenow.com.au won metro news website of the year with judges recognising its commitment to video content and its agenda-setting anti-censorship campaign.  

Other winners included News Ltd’s crocodile-loving NT News which won daily paper of the year in the 10-25,000 circulation category; Fairfax’s Canberra Times in the 25-90,000 category and the WAN-owned Kalgoorlie Miner which won the under 10,000 category.

Non-daily newspaper of the year winners included the News Review Messenger, The Land, South Western Times and the Hawkesbury Gazette.

Fairfax Media’s creative services manager Zac Skulander was the Hegarty prize winner for his work on the SMH’s translucent cover wrap and the Sun-Herald’s 3D edition. He will use the bursary to study iPad applications.
