EuroTimes wins award

Magazines Ireland represents 42 Irish publishers who together produce over 200 magazines, both consumer and business to business titles.

The judges said that in a strong category with many worthy contenders, EuroTimes was chosen as the winner because of its excellent content and highly impactful design

EuroTimes executive editor Colin Kerr said that EuroTimes had continued to go from strength to strength in 2011 with an ABC audited annual readership of 32,019. This represented a year-on-year increase of seven per cent and made EuroTimes the highest audited circulation for ophthalmic news publications in Europe.

“A EuroTimes readership study was commissioned in April 2011 and 500 telephone surveys were conducted with EuroTimes readers,†he said.â€The results of the survey show EuroTimes leads all publications in both spontaneous and total recall and that more subscribers read every issue of EuroTimes than any of its competitors.â€

Dr Emanuel Rosen, chairman of the ESCRS Publications Committee, EuroTimes, congratulated the EuroTimes staff and editors and said that winning the award was a major recognition for the magazine.

This is the third award that EuroTimes has received from Magazines Ireland in the last five years. In 2007, the magazine won the Business to Business Specialist Magazine of the Year award and in 2010, Senior Designer Paddy Dunne won a Designer of the Year (Business Magazines) award.
