The 18th North West Newspaper Awards were announced on Friday, providing several embattled publishers with a welcome (albeit temporary) respite from what has been a difficult year for the regional industry.
 Big winners Blackpool's Gazette won the coveted gong of daily newspaper of the year, while the daily newspaper website of the year went to the Lancashire Evening Post. Manchester's Crains collected the prize for weekly newspaper website of the year. The Manchester Evening News, which featured heavily in the nominations for the awards, went home empty handed. The full list of winners is below. Iain Irving from main sponsor Sellafield noted that the entry standard was high and the categories fiercely contested, adding "while times may be hard in regional journalism the highest quality is still being consistently produced."
