California's Antelope Valley Press, North Carolina's The Pilot, New York's Riverhead News-Review, Wyoming's Jackson Hole News & Guide and Alaska's Petersburg Pilot won divisional awards for general excellence in the National Newspaper Association's Better Newspaper Contest, announced Friday at the NNA convention in Tulsa.
The Antelope Valley Press, of Palmdale, won the contest's division for daily newspapers. NNA's membership is mostly weeklies, defined as those publishing fewer than four days a week. Iowa's Sioux City Journal placed second and the Wyoming Tribune-Eagle of Cheyenne was third.
The Pilot, of Southern Pines, N.C., won the division for weeklies with circulations of 10,000 or more. The Idaho Mountain Express of Ketchum placed second, The Washington Missourian placed third and The Sun of San Luis Obispo, Calif., was fourth.
The News & Guide won the division for weeklies with circulations of 6,000 to 9,999. The Suffolk Times of Mattituck, N.Y., placed second; The Ellsworth American of Maine was third and the Yamhill Valley News-Register of McMinnville, Ore., was fourth; it won for best editorial pages and editorial in the division. The American won second in a non-divisional contest for best website, won by The Daily Universe, the student newspaper at Utah's Brigham Young University.
The Riverhead News-Review, also based in Mattituck, won among non-dailies with circulations of 3,000 to 5,999. Second place went to Nevada's Lahontan Valley News and Fallon Eagle Standard; third to Nebraska's Blair Pilot-Tribune and fourth to Minnesota's Hutchinson Leader. It won first place for best investigative or in-depth story, by Ruby Redekopp on drinking water.
The Petersburg Pilot won among weeklies with less than 3,000 circulation. The Tioga Tribune of Crosby, N.D., placed second; The Ark of Tiburon, Calif., was third and The Imperial Republican of Nebraska was fourth. The Ark won the division award for best local news coverage.
In another contest category without divisions, the Cedar County News of Hartington, Neb., won for freedom of information. The judges cited "multiple persistent editorials and effective editorial cartoons."
Among category first-place winners who were present to receive their awards, Wyoming's Buffalo Bulletin won for best local news coverage, The Galena Gazette of Illinois won first place for editorial, and Oklahoma's McAlester News-Capital won first place for investigative or in-depth story, for reporting on misuse of municipal credit cards.
