The Park Bugle won second place for Best Issue in the Minnesota Society of Professional Journalists 2012 Page One Awards. Our December 2011 issue was awarded in the less than 50,000 circulation category at the SPJ annual awards banquet on June 19.
The Duluth News Tribune’s June 12, 2011, edition received first place for Best Issue in that same category.
When asked how they felt about the award, Bugle editor Kristal Leebrick, production manager Stephen Parker, business manager Fariba Sanikhatam and sales representatives Genevieve Plagens and Ruth Weleczki said, “We think we can; we think we can; we think we can.”
