New community newspaper receives Sanlam award
Just 18 months after its launch, the free weekly entertainment publication, The Next 48hOURS, has won the Sanlam Award for Community Newspapers 2005 in the category Best Niche Publication.
There were 1 635 individual entries from 482 journalists in the 14th annual awards ceremony held last weekend at the Sandton Sun in Johannesburg.
Riekie Greyling, co-publisher and editor of The Next 48hOURS also won fifth place for best theme page for a feature on Decorex, held a few months ago in Cape Town.
"48hOURS started out as a concept and winning this prize has rewarded all our hard work and all the blood, sweat and tears that we have gone through with a very tight budget and a skeleton staff," says Greyling.
"To this end I want to thank my deputy editor Orielle Berry for her hard work and tremendous support. She believed in our publication and stayed with us through thick and thin, working under extremely difficult circumstances.
"The graphic artists also deserve my thanks for the creativity and vision in helping to put this newspaper together."
Naushad Khan, co-publisher and Managing Director of the publication, says: "I love South Africa. To think that I was a distributor of newspapers just eight years ago in Pietermaritzburg and now to be the proud co-publisher of an award-winning publication is simply awesome."
