Akron Beacon Journal Recognized by Editor & Publisher
Long-time SBS customer the Akron Beacon Journal received honorable mention for "10 Newspapers That Do It Right 2017: Achieving Growth in Circulation, Revenue and Engagement" from the newspaper industry's trade publication.
The annual feature recognizes "some of the biggest and brightest ideas occurring in our industry," according to Editor and Publisher. "From digital initiatives that are tapping into new audiences to community programs that are fostering stronger relationships, the ideas are as diverse as each market each publication serves."
The Beacon Journal was recognized for bringing together a dozen Ohio media news outlets "to discuss ways to work together during the presidential campaign to produce news content that earned the trust of citizens." The Your Vote Ohio project hosted polling and deliberative sessions in which citizens defined the top issues in the 2016 campaign.
