Friday's Regional Press Awards showered kudos on a small band of individuals (and one local title) from the currently embattled newspaper industry here in the North West of England.
In an event that was overshadowed somewhat by the currently parlous state of the sector, Nicola Dowling, Roger Lytollis, Jon Colman (pictured above), Tim Bradley and the CN Group's News & Star at least had something to smile about.
His repeat performance was eclipsed in the best possible fashion by the multi-garlanded Jon Colman from the CN Group, who secured the gongs for sports journalist of the year for both weekly and daily/Sunday publications.
The judges described him as "an exceptional talent".
One of Colman's papers - The News & Star - also triumphed at the event, which was held at the Marriott Grosvenor Square in London, by taking home the 'newspaper of the year (daily/Sunday) - below 40,000 circulation' award. Suitably impressed judges remarked that the paper boasted "page after page of compelling reads.”
The region's haul was rounded off by Tim Bradley who was hailed as the photographer of the year (weekly) for his work for the Rochdale Observer and Heywood Advertiser
