Since 1854 — News from Montcalm County and Ionia County, Michigan
The Daily News was commemorated last week with a special tribute from the Michigan Legislature for being recognized as the state’s best small daily newspaper for the seventh consecutive year.
On May 23, Sen. Rick Outman and Rep. Pat Outman visited the Daily News office in downtown Greenville to present the special tribute to members of the newspaper staff in person.
For the seventh straight year, the Daily News has been named Michigan’s best small daily newspaper through the Michigan Press Associations Better Newspaper Contest.
Members of the Arkansas Press Association reviewed 2,909 entries submitted by 96 Michigan newspapers/individual members this year. The competition inspires all journalists to produce their best work, which in turn, nurtures stronger communities. The 2021 awards were announced on March 17 via a virtual ceremony in Lansing.
The Daily News has added a key member to its editorial team.
Casi Antcliff recently began her position as the newspaper’s editorial assistant. Antcliff will be the Daily News’ contact point for items such as obituaries, community-submitted news items, area locals, support groups, church news, club calendar and helping to administer requests and questions from our subscribers.
In response to multiple residents complaining they weren’t aware of a proposed wind turbine project for Montcalm County until just recently, the Pierson Township Board is switching to the county’s longtime newspaper of record for publishing public notices.
The Daily News has been recognized as the best small daily newspaper in the state of Michigan for the sixth year in a row.
This week, the Michigan Press Association announced the Daily News was among the state’s Newspapers of the Year. The award for 2020 marks the sixth straight and the ninth time since 1983 that the Daily News has been named best in its class. The Daily News competes for awards with other daily newspapers in Class D with a circulation of fewer than 5,000.
