Scotsman.com named top website
The Scotsman's internet portal, scotsman.com has fended off stiff
competition from the likes of The Guardian Media Group, to lift the
prestigious Best Daily Newspaper Internet Site accolade at the national
Newspaper Society's new media awards.
Scotsman.com, which first went online in 1996, has grown into one of
Scotland's biggest newspaper sites, receiving more than six million
impressions a month and visits from more than 600,000 individuals - up a
third in the previous year.
The judges said that the site had shown "strong editorial lead, excellent
design and a commitment to a defined community."
Having picked up the award at Birmingham's Metropole Hotel, Stewart
Kirkpatrick, scotsman.com's editor, said: "We know that our site is very
good, our users know the site is very good and we are extremely flattered
that the Newspaper Society agree."
