News / Regional media awards
CONGRATULATIONS to the digital media team at the Liverpool Post and Echo who has just been named Website of the Year at the regional press awards run by the Society of Editors.
Shetland News was one of five regional websites shortlisted for the prestigious award.
Joint editor of Shetland News, Hans J Marter, said the whole team had felt humbled by having been shortlisted.
“Well done to the Liverpool Echo. Your website at www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/ looks great.
“Competing against the likes of the Liverpool Echo and the other three titles shortlisted always felt like punching well above our weight – after all www.shetnews.co.uk is a micro news site serving a small island community and not a major UK city.
“Many thanks to all readers who have sent in their best wishes,” he said.
A spokeswoman for the Society of Editors added: “We are very pleased that you were shortlisted for Website of the Year which is an achievement in itself given the wide range of digital publications and the extremely high standards set by regional newspapers.”
