The face of readership is diverse. This diversity demands our attention. Newspapers across the state of Pennsylvania are recognizing this challenge, and stepping up.
This award honors Pennsylvania newspapers that accept the challenge and create a community of readers through innovative initiatives. First awarded in 2006, the Readership Initiative Award was developed by the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association (PNA) Foundation's Youth and New Readership Committee.
The Reader Initiative Awards are presented at the PNA Annual Convention.
