EDITORIAL: A Moment to Humble Brag

Each year, the Montana Newspaper Association invites newspaper professionals to enter their best work in the following categories: Editorial, Design, Photojournalism, Advertising, Digital, and Special Publications. By reciprocal agreement, entries are judged by newspaper professionals and journalists from other state press/newspaper associations; this year’s contest was judged by volunteer members of the Utah Press Association.

On June 3rd, the Whitehall Ledger was notified its entries has placed in the following categories:

• Best Feature/Lifestyle Story

• Best Continuing News Coverage

• Best Front Page

• Best Front Page

• Best Sports Page Layout/Design

• Best General News Photo

• Best Feature Photo

• Best Sports Photo

• Best Portrait Photo

• Best Color Ad to Sell/Promote

The awards ceremony is on the same day as the Enchanted Faire on the Main Street Green, so I will have to wait to see what placings The Ledger took in each category—but to say I’m excited is a bit of an understatement!

Thank you to everyone who reads, glances at, or buys and then tosses The Whitehall Ledger - your support means the world to me! We’re off to a great start for the 2024 calendar news yea,r and I’m excited for all the years to come!
