FREMONT - The Ohio Associated Press Media Editors have announced newspaper finalists for articles, photographs and digital reporting for 2022.
The News-Messenger received notification that several staff writers will receive honors in several categories during a spring awards ceremony. Trophies and certificates will be presented for first through third places. The News-Messenger is in Division 1, which is a group of publications in Ohio with circulations between 2,000 and 8,000.
