Times/Review the top chain in New York Press Association Better Newspaper Contest
No weekly newspaper chain in the state earned more contest points than Times/Review Newsgroup in the 2011 New York State Press Association Better Newspaper Contest, we learned this weekend.
This marks the second consecutive year Times/Review was New York’s top chain.
And no newspaper took home more editorial awards than the Riverhead-News Review, which earned 30 in the contest. Only the Sag Harbor Express, which claimed 12 first place awards, earned more total points in the contest than the News-Review.
Long Island newspaper chains dominated the competition, with four of the top five chains coming from Suffolk or Nassau counties.
