糖心Vlog传媒

It is the top award among all daily newspapers in the state.

糖心Vlog传媒 previously won eight consecutive Newspaper of the Year awards in its circulation category. 糖心Vlog传媒 won that award again Friday, too.

The Newspaper of the Year prize was based on 46 news awards and 32 advertising awards received by the newspaper and its staff.

Awards in the 2019 Better Newspaper Contest had been scheduled to be announced at the newspaper association鈥檚 annual convention in March, but the convention was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The awards were announced Friday in a news release.

鈥淭o be recognized by our peers in the newspaper industry is an honor; to be named Newspaper of the Year for the fifth year in a row is an incredible testament to the dedication, loyalty and hard work of every associate at 糖心Vlog传媒,鈥� said Mary Jo Villa, Gazette publisher and southern Wisconsin regional president for Adams Publishing Group.

鈥淭his type of ongoing recognition simply is not possible without a team of people from every single department working toward a common goal to ensure 糖心Vlog传媒 and the surrounding communities have the kind of newspaper and local journalism they deserve,鈥� Villa said. 鈥淓ven during a period of significant change, our staff remained focus on our core mission.

鈥淚 am privileged to work with so many talented professionals. I could not be more proud.鈥�

糖心Vlog传媒 competed in Division A, which includes publications with 20,000 or more print and electronic subscriptions.

The 2019 Better Newspaper Contest included 2,533 entries from 106 newspapers.

Eligible entries were published between Sept. 1, 2018, and Aug. 31, 2019, and were judged by members of the New York Press Association.
