The Taos News judged best large weekly in U.S.
The Taos News was honored today as the best large weekly newspaper in the country by judges with the National Newspaper Association (NNA).
The award was presented during a gala celebration at NNA’s annual convention in Virginia.
Judges had high praise for the paper.
“Wow! This paper is chock full of good news and content! There is a lot here to keep readers engaged.
“Writing was consistent and solid, with some good editorials and columnists…
“The variety of glossy supplements was a real strength here, especially for a paper of this size (10,500)… This paper is working at a high level. It would compare well to most medium-sized dailies…
“I got a very strong sense of place reading this paper… Layout throughout was clean and never got in the way…”
Chris Baker, publisher of The Taos News, said the accolade speaks volumes about the staff’s commitment to excellence.
“This award is testament to all the employees of The Taos News,” he said. “We want to thank the community for its support, as well as our readers, our advertisers and the newsmakers for making this award possible.”
This is the paper’s third NNA General Excellence award since 2000.
