News Organization of the Year (NOY)

Since 1990, the Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association (PNA) Foundation’s Newspaper of the Year Contest has given Pennsylvania news media companies the opportunity to showcase the efforts of their entire staff. The contest has been changed and updated throughout the years, but the mission of recognizing outstanding work across all departments and including all products, with an emphasis on overall excellence has not.

Congratulations to the 2021 News Organization of the Year Award Winners!
