THE Warrington Guardian has scooped the prize for online journalism at the O2 Media Awards North West.

Colin and Wendy Parry presented the award as our coverage of the 25th anniversary of the Warrington bombing was among the reasons the paper had been shortlisted.

Wendy added: "The paper has been great to us over the past 25 years but particularly over the past 12 months."

The newspaper was also highly commended in the Team of the Year (Print) category.

Our colleagues Andrew Simpson and Barbara Jordan at sister titles the Northwich Guardian and Runcorn and Widnes World were also highly commended in the sports reporter (print) category and for the Rachael Bland Social Media Award.

BBC Breakfast’s Louise Minchin hosted the presentation evening at Chester Racecourse.
