The Issaquah Press earned top honors as the best community newspaper in Washington, plus more than 30 other awards for reporting, photography, social media, design and advertising at a statewide journalism conference Oct. 7.
Overall, the newspaper and staff members received 33 awards in the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association’s Better Newspaper Contest.
Judges named reporter Warren Kagarise as News Writer of the Year, a top honor for a community newspaper reporter in Washington.
The association honored The Press in the General Excellence category for the largest-circulation community newspapers in the Evergreen State. Sammamish Review, a sister publication, clinched the No. 3 spot in the category.
SnoValley Star, another sister publication, also earned awards at the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association’s annual convention in Everett.
The Press’ award in the General Excellence category followed a similar honor from the regional Society of Professional Journalists chapter. In May, judges selected The Press as the best nondaily newspaper in the Northwest for a second consecutive year.
