African-American community for more than 124 years. The renowned publication also
took home awards for "Best Special Edition," "Best
Editorial," "Best Business Section," "Best Youth
Section," and "Best Original Advertising" in addition to the
events top award.
"It's a great honor for the staff of
The Tribune to
be recognized for our work, here, in Philadelphia,"
said the paper's publisher, Robert W. Bogle. "
The Tribune aims to
provide editorial excellence and truthful news coverage about the
African-American experience, and about the black community, as a whole. While
these have been challenging times for the nation's largest major daily
newspapers, it's refreshing to see black-focused and other community
newspapers, thriving, making a successful transition to the "new media"
environment and being celebrated for their commitment to reporting seldom-seen
stories on what is becoming the nation's new majority, in many of our country's
largest cities."
In seven of the last twelve years, The Tribune has been
named the nation's best black newspaper at the same award ceremony.
