The Daily Iowan has been named as the Iowa Newspaper Association 2021 “Newspaper of the Year.”
The award was announced during the association’s virtual Awards Ceremony. Also recognized during the convention Thursday were two 50 Year Club recipients, individuals honored for completing 50 years of service to the newspaper industry. Recipients include Randy Evans of the Bloomfield Democrat and Joleen Sievertsen of the Manilla Times.
Presentations were made to winners of the 2021 Iowa Better Newspaper Contests, which were judged by the MDDC Press Association. Approximately 3,000 entries in dozens of categories were judged by class, based on circulation.
