The Greensboro News & Record received nine awards, including four first-place honors, during the N.C. Press Association’s annual convention on Thursday in Raleigh.
The awards were for stories, editorials and photographs published between April 1, 2025, and March 31, 2025. The awards for the 2025 NCPA contest continued a string of strong performances by the News & Record.
Six current staff members received awards.
The News & Record competes with the state’s major metro newspaper for individual awards.
“It’s always nice to win awards,” said Dimon Kendrick-Holmes, executive editor of the News & Record, “but what matters most is that we’re serving our audience, telling them great stories and giving them information they want and need.”
“We encourage our readers to let us know when they think we’ve done a good job or when we can do better,” Kendrick-Holmes said.
