Award Details
Since 1959, the PNA Foundation’s Newspaper Carrier of the Year contest has helped Pennsylvania newspapers recognize the exemplary performance of carriers of all ages. It continues to be difficult to hire and retain reliable and talented carriers. Therefore, it is more important than ever to show exemplary carriers how much they are valued and appreciated for their contributions. Entering the contest is quick and easy, and cash prizes and certificates are awarded to the winners.
Congratulations to the 2024 Newspaper Carrier of the Year Award Winners!

A lot has changed since the first newspaper carrier was hired by The New York Sun back in 1833; the fact remains that carriers continue to be an integral part of your success. Every day, and especially on these two special days, show appreciation to all your carriers.
Newspaper carriers – past and present – take these special days to celebrate by sharing stories from your delivery routes and/or what you enjoy about being a carrier. Use #NewspaperCarrierDay to post on social media.
Don’t forget to recognize your newspaper carriers on these special days each year:
- September 4 – National Newspaper Carrier Day
- October 8 – International Newspaper Carrier Day by News Media Alliance
