But boy, it sure feels good when good work is recognized.
And a lot of good work by the staff of the York Daily Record/Sunday News has been recognized in the 2021 Keystone Media Awards.
Our staff won eight first-place awards, two second place and four honorable mentions.
And because the York Daily Record won the most individual awards for newsrooms its size, it was named the Division III winner of the 2021 Sweepstakes Award. Since our first Sweepstakes win in the early 1990s, we have received this distinction 19 times.
But this time feels different. It s been a tough year for journalism, here and everywhere.

A cluttered or disorganized home can be a major source of stress, especially for some people with anxiety.
Stacks of mail and papers cover your desk. Piles of clothes accumulate on the chair in your bedroom. Makeup, toiletries and other products crowd your bathroom counter. Toys are strewn across the living room floor. For some people, a messy home is a minor nuisance or something they can easily overlook. For others, it can have a significant impact on their mental health.
As Wendy Wisner, who has an anxiety disorder, explained in a blog post for the site Scary Mommy, “Cleaning up clutter is not just another thing on the to-do list like packing my kids’ lunches, changing the car’s oil, or making my next dentist appointment. It’s a full-on ragey kind of panic.”
