The Observer has won the top prize at the 2014 Newspaper Awards. The Fujifilm Grand Prix was awarded to the Observer Tech Monthly supplement, which launched in September last year. The supplement also won the Coldset Colour Supplement of the Year prize.
Observer Tech Monthly brings together news and developments from the world of science and technology and covers a wealth of opinions, debates, interviews and reviews from finance to fashion, from media to medicine.
Praising the supplement, judges said that it was "a masterclass in making a specialist market accessible and compelling" and also singled out its "great authoritative content".
GuardianWitness - the Guardian's user-generated content platform which launched in April 2013 in partnership with EE - picked up the Digital Innovation of the Year award. The judges were "uniformly impressed with the scope and implementation of this digital newcomer", praising its "innovative implementation of social news gathering which works well across numerous platforms."
"Clearly citizen journalism is on the march", said one judge, "and GuardianWitness harnesses it beautifully."
The Guardian website, theguardian.com, was also highly commended in the digital news service of the year category.
