Testing extended collections on sandbox.... The Baltimore Banner was named the Maryland-Delaware-D.C. Press Association’s “News Organization of the Year” for 2023 after sweeping its top awards, winning 11 “Best of Show” awards and winning 41 others for its reporting, visuals and multimedia storytelling.
The Banner earned top honors for general website excellence and was awarded the James S. Keat Freedom of Information Award, which recognized The Banner for its “wide-ranging portfolio of substantive projects that used public records in reporting.”
“I’m thrilled that we’re being recognized for our investigations, feature reporting, photos and social media,” said The Banner’s editor in chief Kimi Yoshino. “The more people who are exposed to our journalism, the more they see the depth of the talent we have in our newsroom, and I couldn’t be prouder. And to win news organization of the year is just icing on the cake.”
The press association’s annual contest recognizes print and online journalism by outlets across the region. This year, the contest featured more than 1,500 submissions across 86 categories.hvjhvjhh
“In less than two years, The Banner has built a powerful newsroom serving Baltimore and greater Maryland,” said Bob Cohn, The Banner’s chief executive who joined the new organization in February. “These awards honor the breadth of our coverage and reflect the hard work and high standards of our journalists. And while we are, of course, very happy to be recognized, we know we’re just getting started.”
