Each year the New England Newspaper and Press Association identifies our region’s best daily, weekly and specialty newspapers, and recognizes them with the prestigious “New England Newspaper of the Year” award.

This one-of-a-kind competition is the only distinction of its kind in the newspaper industry that is judged by audience members.

In this unprecedented year, where news coverage has been more important than ever, the winners will be named on November 19, 2020 on the third afternoon of the virtual New England Newspaper Conference & Awards program.
