The centerpiece of the annual Newspaper Convention is the New England Better Newspaper Competition awards presentation, at which hundreds of awards are presented to deserving newspaper professionals from throughout the region.

Individuals are awarded for their extraordinary work in serving their audience, advertisers, and communities. The awards recognize the outstanding coverage, commentary, community involvement, and marketing activities that newspaper professionals throughout New England pursue day-in and day-out.

We’ll be notifying award finalists by email next week and will also let you know what day and time at the Convention the winners will be announced!

If your newspaper isn’t a current member, you will be able to request access to the online community for an introductory period.

If you have any questions or problems accessing the member community or registering for the Convention contact Linda Conway, NENPA Executive Director at l.conway@nenpa.com.

This online NPF fellowship will help journalists follow the money in Washington, whether they’re reporting from the Capitol or covering the effects of federal spending and financial regulation on their states and local communities.

Sessions meet Fridays online for 2.5 hours, starting April 30, 2021, for eight weeks. The application deadline is Monday, April 12 at Midnight.

This fellowship will offer skills, sources, and best practices to journalists who want to track the $1.9 trillion COVID relief package and report on whether the funds are flowing to and/or having an effect in communities disproportionally affected by the COIVD-19 pandemic. It is also designed to help journalists who wish to power their accountability reporting with a deeper understanding of congressional finance, corporate lobbying, antitrust, taxation, and other federal regulatory issues that will be debated in 2021 and beyond.
