"These awards reflect not only on the creativity and vision of our small staff, but on the faith that our readers and advertisers have in us," publisher Gordon Brewerton said. "For our small group to better media giants such as the Toronto Star, the Montreal Gazette, and the Calgary Herald, is something that the entire County of Northumberland can be proud of."
Excellent, positive community newspaper input by one and all. We're wondering if any of the employees recently trimmed from the staff worked on the winning entries.
