2025 Iowa Better Newspaper Contests

Best Editorial Page(s) ( Class IV) Back

  • Place Name: First Place
    Contestant Name: Iowa Falls - Times Citizen
    Entry Title: Best Editorial Page
    Entry Credit: Times Citizen Staff
    Judge Comment: I like the non-traditional yet clean look of the page. Color makes it pop. This had a good mix of local columns, editorials and letters to the editor. Good work.
  • Place Name: Second Place
    Contestant Name: Council Bluffs - Daily Nonpareil
    Entry Title: Nonpareil Editorial Page
    Entry Credit: Nonpareil Staff
    Judge Comment: I like the headline font on the page and the use of color. I think the paper name could be smaller and elsewhere on the page to leave that real estate for an editorial or column.
  • Place Name: Third Place
    Contestant Name: Spencer - Spencer Daily Reporter
    Entry Title: Best Editorial Pages
    Entry Credit: Staff
    Judge Comment: Good mix of local interest columns. The overall look could use a little more air.
