I had the honor of accepting PNA’s Newspaper of the Year Award at the recent publisher’s convention.<\/p>\n

My acceptance speech, adapted for YDR Insider,\u00a0 follows:<\/p>\n

Thank you for this coveted Newspaper of the Year award.<\/p>\n

It’s even more meaningful when you consider the quality of\u00a0 news organizations in the state that we\u2019re up against. Look what the Patriot-News is doing with the Penn State story. I feel like we’re running with the big dogs today.<\/p>\n

When we last won this award, I know I just paused for a moment realizing that this is a once-in-a-lifetime honor, and I wanted to take it all in.<\/p>\n

I can say thanks to the journalists at the York Daily Record\/Sunday News for providing another moment.<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s another moment I\u2019d like to share with you.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve heard that our editorial page editor Scott Fisher was honored earlier in this program with a William A. Schnader Print Media Award<\/a>, and you heard from him a few minutes ago accepting the Public Service Award<\/a> for the YDR\/YSN.<\/p>\n

Well, it was a beautiful Fourth of July morning in 2010 when Scott Fisher was observed in his office working on either a Viewpoints takeout on York County First Amendment champions in connection with the Snyder v. Phelps -Westboro Supreme Court case. That was the case of this alleged church, Westboro Baptis<\/a>t, demonstrating at the funeral of a brave Marine with York County ties.<\/p>\n

Or perhaps he was working on a piece he wrote about the use and abuse of ARD<\/a> to assuage police officers who were in trouble with the law, particularly\u00a0 DUIs.<\/p>\n

No matter, these were pieces of his winning Schnader entry, and the moment points to the creativity and determination and resolve and just plain old-fashioned hard work demonstrated daily \u2013 nowadays just about 24-7 \u2013 by York Daily Record\/Sunday News staff. And yes, holiday mornings as well. We thank Scott for his effort.<\/p>\n

This is not a time for navel-gazing. It\u2019s a time for smart work. But it\u2019s a time for hard work.<\/p>\n

To adapt a line from one of our editors in accepting an award a couple years ago: Much of what we do is hard, very hard. But we choose to do it because it is hard. That relates to our commitment to work, too.<\/p>\n

And one other point to make because moments like this one are so rare:\u00a0 Much of the content that won this award was published first on the web and then conveyed to mobile and tablet devices – called digital first. Then it was republished on newsprint \u2013 in the York Daily Record\/Sunday News.<\/p>\n

I can say with certitude that all the journalists in our newsroom have digital duties – with 100 percent buy-in that digital is our future.<\/p>\n

So perhaps this award \u2013 this highly prized trophy \u2013 could be renamed Digital Newspaper of the Year… .<\/p>\n
