We’ve had quite a few requests for more time to prepare nominations for the New England Newspaper Hall of Fame – the award that recognizes the most outstanding newspaper professionals from throughout our six-state region.
The deadline for nominations has been extended to Friday, February 24, 2023.
Your nominee could join more than 100 individuals (see the full list below) who have already been inducted into the New England Newspaper Hall of Fame for their talent, hard work, and exceptional accomplishments, which provide inspiration to all New England journalists.
This year’s inductees will be honored during the annual New England Newspaper Convention, which will be held in Spring 2023 (date and location to be announced soon).
- Nominees should be people who have made extraordinary contributions to their newspaper(s), the newspaper industry, and their communities. NENPA membership is not required to be eligible for the award.
- People who have excelled in any area of newspaper operations are eligible — i.e., editorial, advertising, circulation, production, and administration.
- You may nominate those still working in the industry and those who have retired. Posthumous nominations are also eligible.
To nominate a colleague in honor of his or her professional achievement and lifetime of contributions, please prepare a letter describing your nominee’s accomplishments and why you recommend that he/she be appointed to the Hall of Fame. Include any supplemental material, testimonials, etc. that support your nomination.
Email your nomination letter and supporting material to l.conway@nenpa.com please use “Hall of Fame” in the subject line.
Nominations can also be mailed to:
Woburn, MA 01801
For further information, please contact NENPA executive director, Linda Conway, at (781) 281-7648, or l.conway@nenpa.com.
