Regional Media Group, the publishers of Hailsham news has announced it has been nominated for a national award.
The free community newspaper has been shortlisted as ‘Independent Community Newspaper of the Year’ – the announcement came after a strict judging process which assessed a large number of publications across the UK.
Less than eighteen months since it launched, Hailsham News will find out at the end of March at a prestigious London awards ceremony, if it’ll clinch the title to be named the best community newspaper in the country.
Editor Paul Gibson said: “I’m overwhelmed with excitement as we all work extremely hard every single day to publish the free newspaper for the town. We’re up against some serious competition in the category, but just to get this far is a complete honour.”
He added: “Without the support of our readers and advertisers, the newspaper wouldn’t be as successful as it has become in such a short amount of time.”
The 2023 Newspaper Awards focuses entirely on recognising excellence in the printed newspaper.
