“A PASSIONATE title and a joy to read”. That’s how the judges described the Ipswich Star as we picked up a prestigious accolade.

The Star was named Regional Newspaper of the Year at the Newspaper Society awards last night.

The awards, which were held at a glittering ceremony at the Hilton in Park Lane, London, honour newspapers across the county.

It is the second major gong for The Star this year after securing the Daily Newspaper of the Year title at the EDF awards.
