Glasgow's Evening Times was named regional newspaper of the year at the Newspaper Society's circulation, editorial and promotions awards last night. The title was praised for its "brave investigations, solid tight editorial and being a strong paper from front cover to back." The Lincolnshire Echo won the design category; Ipswich's Evening Star was named community newspaper of the year; and an award for innovation was won jointly by the Hull Daily Mail for its video journalism and the Southern Daily Echo for its magazine.
Derby Evening Telegraph reporters David Walsh and Catherine Oakes won journalist of the year and young journalist of the year respectively. And Scotland on Sunday took the prizes in three categories: best reader offer, best multimedia campaign and best single-copy sales initiative. (Via Newspaper Society)
