The Southern Daily Echo has been shortlisted for two prestigious awards.

The nominations recognise the Echo's coverage in print and online and the team's work bringing stories to the people that matter most - you, our readers.

The newspaper has been nominated for Regional Newspaper of the Year in The 2024 Newspaper Awards.

Our website dailyecho.co.uk has been nominated as Website of the Year in the Regional Press Awards.

Elsewhere, our stablemate title the Isle of Wight County Press is also in the running for Local Weekly Newspaper of the Year in The 2024 Newspaper Awards.

Editor Ben Fishwick said: "The nominations for these awards speak to the hard work put in by the journalists in Southampton who strive every day to bring you the latest across news, Saints coverage and much more.

"We have already seen repeated year-on-year increases in our audience and the number of subscribers online has skyrocketed in the last 12 months, which has only sharpened our resolve to continue to well serve our readers."
