The Guardian was presented with two awards at Digiday Media Awards Europe in a ceremony held in London last night (Thursday 9 May).
The Digiday Media Awards Europe recognise the companies, campaigns and technology modernising European media.
Katharine Viner, editor-in-chief of Guardian News & Media, and David Pemsel, chief executive officer of Guardian Media Group, were honoured with the first-ever Digiday Award. The unique award honours leading individuals in the media who have been instrumental in creating positive change in the industry.

David Pemsel, chief executive officer, Guardian Media Group said:
