For the second consecutive year,
The Daily Iowan was named the Iowa Newspaper Association’s (INA) 2021 Newspaper of the Year, the INA announced Feb. 11.
The award is presented to the newspaper that accumulates the highest point total from placing first, second, or third in each category.
The independent, student-run newspaper beat all other professional newspapers in the state, accumulating 48 awards—including 24 first-place awards—against other daily newspapers in the state with a circulation of less than 10,000. The newspaper won the association’s top honor for the second straight year and fourth time (1976, 1981, 2020, 2021) in the award’s 52-year history.
