Glory for Kampfner’s new-look New Statesman at magazine awards

By Press Gazette

The relaunched New Statesman took many of the top honours at the Magazine Design and Journalism Awards last night.

The Press Gazette-organised awards recognised the most outstanding talent in both the visual and editorial sides of the magazine business.

The New Statesman picked up four prizes including front page of the year and scoop of the year.

Grazia picked up the prestigious Magazine Icon of the Year prize.

The prizes were awarded after deliberations by two juding panels totalling 40 of the magazine industry's most experienced figures.

Chairman of the judges Sally O'Sullivan said "British magazines are amongst the finest in the world and this is, again, proved by the fantastic standard of entries in this year's Press Gazette Magazine Awards.

"As all of us in the business know, success is the result of team excellence and it has been exciting to see such excellence alive and well in magazines at every level and in every discipline. All winners should feel immensely proud of their talents, the competition was high and reaching final decisions not easy."
