Newspaper wins five MPA awards

The South Reporter won five awards in the Missis­sippi Press Asso­ciation 2016 Better News­paper Contest.

The honors were announced during the MPA Summer Convention Satur­day, July 8, in Biloxi at the Golden Nugget. Judges for this year’s contest were from the Kentucky Press Asso­ciation.

Headlining The South Reporter’s awards was Dillon Day’s first-place plaque in the Best Sports Action Photo category. About his picture of Holly High basketball player DaQuan Smith in January 2016, the judges wrote – “Love the action, especially the look on the player’s face as he goes for the dunk. Very well done and way to be at the right place at the right time.”
