Last night saw the 2009 Newspaper Awards (nominations for the prizes can be seen here) with BBC News jointly winning best electronic news site alongside Times Online – good work for a non-newspaper.

The other digital accolade went to the Herald Express and thisissouthdevon for ‘Rock Stars’, the paper’s online drive to create a new band; while the Cambridge News scooped best regional paper and The Times was named best national newspaper.

Congratulations to the award winners – a full list of which can be viewed on the awards’ website.
