Recognized as two of the highest and most distinguished tributes in community journalism, the Amos and McKinney Awards are presented to a working or retired newspaperman and woman who have provided distinguished service and leadership to the community press and their community.
Winners are notified in July and awards are presented at NNA's Annual Convention and Trade Show held in the fall.
Richard A. Nafsinger will be honored during the National Newspaper Association’s 124th Annual Convention & Trade Show, when he will be presented with the 2010 Amos Award.
The Amos Award was established in 1938 by E.C. Amos, publisher of The Sidney Daily News, to honor his father, General James O. Amos, a pioneer Ohio journalist and an early-day member of the National Editorial Association. The McKinney Memorial Award was created in 1966 to honor Emma C. McKinney, co-publisher and editor of the Hillsboro (OR) Argus for 58 years.
Every year, the National Newspaper Association announces the Call for Nominations for the Amos and McKinney Awards, which are the highest honors awarded to working and retired newspapermen and women who have exhibited distinguished service to the community press.
