For the second consecutive year, the Kansas Press Association’s Awards of Excellence ceremony was staged virtually.
On June 18, winners in 48 news and 21 advertising categories were recognized.
This was the first year that entries were based solely on circulation and not on whether a newspaper was a daily or nondaily. Newspaper editors had the option to compete within their circulation category or, as some did, move to a higher circulation category.
Two new categories were added to this year’s competition, with the Marion County Record and editor and publisher Eric Meyer claiming the title of Best Graphic Designer and the Phillips County Review and the Great Bend Tribune taking first place in the Best Use of Color category.

by Ethan Andrews Tuesday, May 25, 2021 7:37 AM On April 29, the Athens Messenger, a southeastern Ohio daily, published a letter to the editor from Asher Nailor of Athens titled, “The need for plant-based meat alternatives may be in the future.”
The letter began with an appeal to Fox News viewers, who had recently been whipped into a contemptuous frenzy over the false claim that Joe Biden planned to limit meat consumption as part of his climate plan, then shifted to a pitch for not eating meat.
The Messenger fact-checked the letter and offered some context. “Fox News did in fact make this claim about Biden,” the editor’s note read, “however, Biden did not propose banning meat in the United States.”
