Past News Organization of the Year (NOY) Winners

News Organization of the Year

News Organization of the YearSince 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.

Beginning in 2023, in order to accumulate points toward NOY, your company MUST ENTER BOTH the Keystone Media Awards AND the Advertising Contest. You must enter both contests in order to earn points and to demonstrate your outstanding efforts across all facets of your news company. Companies not entering both contests will not be considered for NOY honors. Don’t be left out when the News Organization of the Year Awards are determined!
