Judges base this highest accolade of the HSPA Foundation
Better Newspaper Contest on an overall evaluation of the
editorial quality of the newspaper.
Judges look for the newspaper best serving its readers with
all variables considered. They examine breadth and depth of
coverage, quality of reporting and copy editing, news judg-
ment and content balance, general appearance, imaginative
approach to problem news areas, originality, reader interest
and overall professionalism.
The Blue Ribbon Award honors one daily and one nondaily
newspaper, regardless of circulation size.
