The Register Star won GateHouse’s Newspaper of the Year award this morning. Judges recognized our work across all platforms — the newspaper, the Web and specialty products. (Judy Emerson won an award earlier.)
The judges said: “This was an outstanding entry on many levels. The newsroom committed to Web-first. New strategic products were introduced. Lots of staff members were learning and doing new things. And, the big flood came and the newsroom responded to the challenge of keeping the community informed.”

I wrote a little earlier today that the Register Star was a finalist in four categories in the Best of GateHouse contest.
We won’t know for a few weeks if we get the newspaper of the year nod. The rest of the winners, however, were announced tonight on the GateHouse Newsroom site.
Our Judy Emerson shared features writer of the year honors with two others. We did not win the public service or team project awards.
Way to go, Judy.

The Register Star is a finalist in four categories in the Best of GateHouse contest. Our parent company is blogging in live time about the judging process — including naming finalists — and expects to name most of the champions Friday.
The Register Star is a finalist in:
- Newspaper of the year
- Public service of the year
- Team project of the year
- Features writer of the year - Judy Emerson
We entered several pieces, so it’s hard to say what specific content is being recognized.
