Beating out The Sydney Morning Herald, the South China Morning Post and The Sunday Mail, The Age Wednesday night was voted the Pacific region's major newspaper of the year.
The award was given at the Pacific Area Newspaper Publishers' Association's 38th annual conference in Melbourne.
Judges said The Age won the top prize because of its exceptional content, design, production and campaign journalism.
“I am completely staggered by this. This represents a tipping point in our profession and in everything we do,” Andrew Jaspan, editor-in-chief of The Age is quoted by the newspaper as saying. “A theme of the PANPA awards has been the extraordinary challenges we all face and the exceptional opportunities. There is no more exciting time to be in our profession than right now.”
Winning for best online newspaper of the year was www.Australianit.news.com.au. Other awards went to Phil Reid of New Zealand's Dominion Post for news photograph of the year, New Zealand's Daily Chronicle won best daily newspaper of the year with a circulation up to 15,000 and the Sunshine Coast Daily won the award for the daily newspaper of the year with circulation between 15,000 and 50,000.
