The Sydney Morning Herald scored the highest accolade at the awards, winning Newspaper of the Year, for the second year in a row.

The Sun-Herald beat off strong competition to be named Sunday Newspaper of the Year, while The Canberra Times picked up the major regional newspaper award, winning Newspaper of the Year in the 25,000 to 90,000 circulation category.

In the non-daily newspaper categories Fairfax also scored two significant regional wins, with Newspaper of the Year going to The Land (25,000 – 90,000 circulation), and The Hawkesbury Gazette (0 - 10,000 circulation).

Overall, Fairfax won 18 awards at last night’s event.

Fairfax Media CEO and Managing Director Brian McCarthy said: “We are absolutely delighted at the PANPA results, which unequivocally confirm Fairfax Media’s flagship titles as the very best Australia has to offer in quality newspaper publishing.

“PANPA is the most prestigious awards in our region and these wins are a tribute to the incredibly hard work of our editorial and advertising teams, of whom the company is justifiably proud.”

CEO of Fairfax Media, Sydney Publishing, Lloyd Whish-Wilson, described last night’s awards success as “formidable”.

“It’s very gratifying to see the extraordinary calibre of our newspapers endorsed as strongly as these awards have done,” Whish-Wilson said.

“The Sydney Morning Herald is without doubt the finest daily newspaper in this country and we continue to provide our readers with the best in Australian journalism. The Sun-Herald and The Canberra Times are also equally deserving winners and we congratulate all those who have contributed so passionately to their success.”

The PANPA Awards recognise excellence in newspapers, websites, photography, marketing and excellence in print and production and received entries from the Asia-Pacific region.

Fairfax Media was recognised at PANPA this year across both print and digital, scoring an impressive total of 85 finalists in the awards including masthead websites and the new iPad and iPhone apps for Sport&Style magazine and MyCareer.

In the News Site of the Year category, theage.com.au received a highly commended citation, while in the Branding category, the iPad Sport&Style app was also highly commended.
