September 2015. The date has been set for next year’s newsawards – 27 April 2016 at the Lancaster London.

2015 saw a completely new format for the Awards, together with a change of venue. The feedback from sponsors and guests to the 2015 event, hosted by the Pub Landlord Al Murray, was extremely positive.

Gary Cullum, director of newsawards and publisher of PJ, says: “Every year we solicit feedback from sponsors and guests and last year’s responses were tremendous with some of the most positive comments we have ever had.

“We’ll be building on the success of last year in 2016. The new format, which saw the awards divided into highly focused sections reflecting the key areas of news media publishing, proved especially popular and our aim will be to further strengthen this format next year.”
