Getty Images Newspapers of the Year
2006
The work of press photographers, however remarkable,
counts for little without publications that are prepared to use
them well. This is recognised by the Getty Images Newspaper of the
Year awards. The judges were looking for titles which demonstrated
an enthusiasm for good photography both in how it is taken and how
it is displayed to the reader.

In the newspaper of the year category
the judges continued to be impressed by the tabloid
Daily Mirror, a winner in three of the last four years,
and The Times, a posh title that has made the not always
easy transition from broadsheet to tabloid. After much
deliberation though, they agreed that the decidedly
broadsheet Sunday Herald is Getty Images Newspaper of
the Year.
The Award was collected by the newspaper’s
Editor, Richard Walker, Picture Editor Elaine Livingstone,
and the Sunday Herald Editor Richard Walker.

In a field where many titles are little
more than glorified mail order catalogues the judges,
headed by PA’s Martin Keene, were unanimous in
choosing a weekly magazine outstanding in its use of
fine photography. The oldest, and this year at least,
the best.
The Getty Images Newspaper Magazine of
the Year is The Sunday Times Magazine, their award was
collected by its Picture Editor, Monica Allende. |
