CONGRATULATIONS BEACONJOURNAL.COM STAFFERS!
Fellow Akron Rotarian, Mike Shearer, is the Editor of the Akron Beacon Journal/BeaconJournal.com; regional editor of the USA TODAY Network in northern Ohio.
The Akron Beacon Journal staffers won 26 statewide journalism awards, including 11 first-place honors, as BeaconJournal.com was named the best website in Ohio on June 10th.
Judges praised BeaconJournal.com for achieving a "balance between serious stuff and innovative ways of attracting the more casual reader." The print edition also placed second for best daily newspaper in Ohio for those under 75,000 circulation.
The awards were presented for the All Ohio Excellence in Journalism Awards sponsored by the Cleveland Press Club at the House of Blues in Cleveland.
