The Atlanta Voice wins six awards for journalistic excellence at the NNPA Messenger Awards

BALTIMORE, MD. – The Voice of Atlanta won six awards for journalistic excellence at this year’s National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) Messenger Awards, held at the Four Seasons Baltimore. The annual awards ceremony was held Thursday evening in the Cobalt Ballroom on the second floor of the hotel.

Third place for original ad campaign also went to The Atlanta Voice.

Karen Carter Richards, publisher and CEO of the Forward Times, and Robert “Bob” Bogle, president of the Philadelphia Tribune, delivered the opening remarks before the start of the awards ceremony.

“I’ve never come to an NNPA convention without learning something,” Bogle said. “The NNPA Messenger Awards are not just a celebration, they are an event. I don’t know of any company that can do what we do. We tell the stories of our communities. We are the beginning and the end.

The NNPA Fund scholarships were distributed to 10 students from across the country. All students study at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and receive a $2,000 award. One of the students, Janelle Wilson, attends Morgan State University in Baltimore and had the opportunity to attend the awards ceremony with her mother.
