Irish Examiner photographer Chani Anderson has won a prestigious first-place award at the Press Photographers Ireland awards. Ms Anderson won the reportage category for her work covering Operation Trench 11, the State’s largest charter-flight deportation in November last year. Her work, they said, "has given the viewer a direct and unfiltered insight into how this deportation has taken place". The overall winner was Mark Condren of Mediahuis Ireland, winning the Press Photographer of the Year title for a record seventh time. Gerry Mooney working with Mediahuis Ireland won the public relations category.
