More awards for Irish Examiner

THE IRISH EXAMINER has won a second major international accolade for its special investigation into Drugs In Ireland and the accompanying booklet which was published by the newspaper.

The campaigning initiative was selected for two special jury commendations at the international young readers awards, announced in Paris by the World Association of Newspapers today, International Literacy Day.

The judges praised the two-tier drugs initiative, stating: “The project had a commendable two-sided approach of 1) highlighting the problem and 2) providing practical steps, especially for parents, to counteract it.”
