Repeat honors for Timberjay Posted Wednesday, February 3, 2021 7:39 pm
REGIONAL - For the second year in a row, the Timberjay has taken the top honors in its size category in the Minnesota Newspaper Association’s Better Newspaper Contest, with its second straight first-place finish for General Excellence.
“Relevant and timely coverage of local affairs and keen localization of decisions as far away as Washington, D.C.,” wrote the judges. “A good mix of community features and a separate local sports section each week delivers what so many readers want from a community newspaper. Excellent and fearless editorial page. Clearly, the best in class. The Timberjay knows how to fly.”
