Hartford Courant Named New England Newspaper Of The Year
The Hartford Courant (CT) was named Newspaper of the Year Thursday by the New England Newspaper & Press Association, the second straight year the Courant has won the top award among newspapers with circulations over 35,000.
“This is an award that speaks to the breadth and consistency of the excellent work Courant journalists do every day,” said Andrew S. Julien, the Courant’s publisher and editor-in-chief. “To win honors as New England newspaper of the year two years in a row speaks even more clearly to our dedication to that mission.”
Julien received the award during NENPA’s New England Newspaper Conference in Natick, Mass. The Courant topped two newspapers that received distinguished newspaper awards, the Providence Journal and the Republican of Springfield.
