 Company earns 18 awards at 2020 NYPA Better Newspaper Contest  
 BY SCHNEPS MEDIA 
 Schneps Media — the parent  
 company of more than 70  
 publications across New York  
 City, Long Island, Westchester  
 County and Philadelphia — is  
 proud to announce that the  
 hard work of its editors and  
 reporters  received  great  recognition  
 in the 2019 New York  
 Press Association (NYPA)  
 Better Newspaper Contest. 
 The awards are usually  
 presented  at  NYPA’s  Spring  
 Conference every year, but  
 the  COVID-19  pandemic  
 forced the NYPA to cancel this  
 year’s gathering. The awards  
 were  presented  virtually  in  
 videos  released  on  Thursday  
 and Friday, Aug. 20-21. 
 In  the  2019  competition,  
 Schneps Media publications  
 earned  18  awards  —  including  
 four fi rst-place prizes —  
 in  various  categories  recognizing  
 outstanding editorial,  
 graphic and photographic  
 content. 
 Of  note,  Gay  City  News  
 earned Honorable Mention  
 honors  for  the  Past  Presidents’ 
  Award for General Excellence, 
  and Long Island  
 Press  also  earned  an  Honorable  
 Mention for the Thomas  
 G. Butson Award for In- 
 Depth  Reporting.  These  are  
 two of the most prestigious  
 awards  in  the  NYPA  Better  
 Newspaper  Contest,  recognizing  
 the  overall  quality  of  
 publications.
