Next year’s Newspaper Awards (formerly newsawards) will now be focusing entirely on recognising excellence in the printed newspaper. The Awards will take place on Tuesday 28 March 2023 at the London Hilton Bankside.
Gary Cullum, director of Newspaper Awards, says: “ Newspaper print is in decline, that is an undeniable fact. However, the printed newspaper remains integral to the success and profitability of the news media industry. Printed newspapers will evolve for many years to come and will continue to be published alongside their digital counterparts.
“The new format Newspaper Awards will focus on production and innovation in national, international, regional, weekly and hyperlocal newspapers. It will recognise the skill and expertise of all the employees involved in producing the printed publication.”
The new-look Awards have already received the support of major industry sponsors including headline sponsor Fujifilm, UPM, Papermule, Reach Printing Services, Resolute Forest Products, Newsprinters and Aktrion Atalian Servest. Other sponsors will be announced soon.
The Entry Form for The 2023 Newspaper Awards will be available in September with a December closing date.
Gary Cullum continues: “The decision to focus purely on print may seem counter-intuitive but our research indicates that the industry is keen to highlight the innovation and excellence in the printed newspaper.
“We’re looking forward to showcasing world-class newspapers printed nationally, regionally and internationally at what promises to be a major industry networking event.”
