Schneps wins for reporting excellence
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.
