The NZ Herald has swept this year's Canon Media Awards, winning most major categories - including Newspaper of the Year, Website of the Year, best daily newspaper and best weekly paper. The NZ Herald won best daily newspaper (over 30,000 circulation) over its main competitors, the Dominion Post, the Press and the Otago Daily Times. The Weekend Herald was named best weekly newspaper over its NZME stablemate, the Bay of Plenty Times Weekend, and Fairfax's Sunday Star-Times, Waikato Times and the Press. "This is an outstanding, unprecedented achievement from across the NZ Herald and NZME business," said managing editor Shayne Currie. Duncan Grieve was named best reviewer for a body of work that appeared on the site he established, The Spinoff, and for the NZ Herald.
