CHAMPAIGN — The News-Gazette sports section and three of the department's writers garnered national recognition from the Associated Press Sports Editors after judging at the annual APSE writing and sections contest.
The N-G received a Top 10 nod for its Sunday sports section in the 30,000-75,000 circulation category.
This is the sixth straight year the paper's sports section has been among those honored in either its daily, Sunday or special sections, and the 25th time in the last 20 years.
"We strive to keep up the tradition of excellence this sports section has produced on a yearly basis, and one that our readers have come to expect," N-G sports editor Matt Daniels said.
