The Sky-Hi News garnered more than a half dozen awards for editorial and advertising content during the 2019 Better Newspaper Contest released Tuesday by the Colorado Press Association.<\/p>\n

\u201cReally, I think these awards are a testament to the newspaper, to the publisher, the editor before me and the people who won, both as individuals and as a team,\u201d said Editor Eli Pace, who joined the newspaper in July. \u201cI am so grateful to work at such a well recognized newspaper with such a great team in place and legacy that dates back over 75 years now.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a team, McKenna Harford, Lance Maggart and former editor Bryce Martin won second place honors in the Best Series and Public Service categories with \u201cThey Are Us<\/a>,\u201d a series that took an in-depth look at mental health issues and services in Grand County.<\/p>\n

The judge who decided the category noted it was informative while focusing on a sensitive, often-hidden problem in the community. Most important, the judge added, the reporting prompted action.<\/p>\n
