London: Asian Lite,
a fortnightly focussing on British Asian events and issues and
edited by Indian-origin journalist Anasudin Azeez, has won the
prestigious How-Do newspaper of the year award for 2012.
A judging panel comprising BBC veteran Jim Hancock and Google's
Andy Barke selected Asian Lite as the Newspaper of the Year 2012
from the short-list of eight leading British titles, including
Rupert Murdoch-owned News Corporations' The Times; Newsquest's The
Bolton News and Johnston Press Group's Lancaster Guardian.
Asian Lite was the only British ethnic media title shortlisted in
the 18 award categories. The award ceremony was held at the
prestigious Lancashire County Cricket Club and attended by several
media personalities and industry leaders, a statement said.
The award committee said Asian Lite, published by New Asian Media
Ltd, bucked the current British trends in declining sales and
circulation in publishing and derived innovative solutions to
identify new models and revenue streams.
Azeez hails from Palakkad district in Kerala.
