Rotorua Daily Post advertising manager Janine Davy.

The Rotorua Daily Post's advertising manager Janine Davy has scooped a prestigious
international award.

At the PANPA Ad awards in Sydney last night Mrs Davy was announced the supreme
winner of the Ad Manager/Director of the Year.

The awards were open to newspapers from across Australia and New Zealand, as well as
English-language papers from Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.

Rotorua Daily Post general manager Matthew Sherry was delighted with Mrs Davy's win, which he described as a ``significant achievement''.

``She thoroughly deserves this accolade as she is tireless in her dedication to the Rotorua
Daily Post, her staff and the many clients she works with.

``Janine is a dedicated and passionate person and that comes through clearly in her day to day work. She has certainly made a mark in Rotorua after only one year in the
advertising manager's role.''

He said it was fantastic Mrs Davy was in Sydney to receive her award in person.

Tonight, the Rotorua Daily Post is up for PANPA Newspaper of the Year in its circulation
category and Digital Destination of the year for its website.

Its two photographers, Stephen Parker and Ben Fraser, are finalists in the photography categories.
