The Petoskey News-Review won 12 awards in the 2021 Michigan Press Association Better Newspaper Contest.

The Petoskey News-Review and its sister papers, the Charlevoix Courier and Gaylord Herald Times, took home nearly a dozen awards and a handful of honorable mentions from the Michigan Press Association’s Better Newspaper Contest this week. 

Those awards include a second place ranking in best digital presentation as well as a second place in the Newspaper of the Year category for the Petoskey News-Review within the Daily Newspaper Class D. 

The Charlevoix Courier won first place in the contest’s Public Service Award for its class, and the Gaylord Herald Times won an award for news enterprise reporting. 

“It’s so rewarding to see our journalists be acknowledged for their hard work,” said Sarah Leach, executive editor for the Petoskey Media Group of the USA Today Network. “We are deeply invested in our communities and hope to continue providing the community stories our readers have come to expect. Thanks to the MPA and the judges for all their work to help provide positive feedback for our Michigan reporters, photographers and editors.”
