Irish Examiner scoops top award for investigation

THE Irish Examiner has collected another prestigious award following its special investigation into the human and social costs of suicide in Ireland.

The newspaper was the only Irish publication to scoop a coveted award at the International Newspaper Marketing Association (INMA) awards 2010, which attracted more than 500 entries from 137 newspapers in 28 countries.

The awards, which recognise excellence in marketing and campaigning journalism and are seen as a benchmark in the industry, were presented at a gala dinner in New York following the 80th INMA World Congress.
