The Association of Online Publishers (AOP) unveiled the winners of its ninth Digital Publishing Awards 2010 at The Roundhouse, Camden tonight at a Gala event tonight presented by Suzi Perry, co-host of Five’s Gadget Show, with entertainment from MTV favourites We Are Scientists.

The AOP represents and champions the interests of companies from newspaper and magazine publishing, TV and radio broadcasting and pure online media – and our annual awards recognise and reward those businesses that strive further to grow and develop the sector. Once again, we are delighted that these awards are a showcase for the cream of UK consumer and business publishers.”
