The Dominion Post was crowned Newspaper of the Year at the Canon Media Awards in Auckland last night.
Editor Bernadette Courtney was delighted that the paper had won the supreme award.
"It confirms our commitment to quality journalism, telling stories that resonate with readers."
Courtney said it was a win for the whole team.
"To win is a superb achievement and credit needs to go to everyone involved. We have always been proud of our journalism and I am immensely proud of the team that works so hard to produce a paper that we know our readers love," she said.
"Our individual winners show the depth of talent right across our team - our readers are well served by the country's best editorial team."
