Thanks for a Very Good Year

Last year, the KP News won seventeen awards in the statewide Better Newspapers competition. We published more stories and photos than ever, delivered online in over 70,000 views and in print with 125,000 newspapers.

Your community newspaper depends on advertising and donations from friends, neighbors, companies, organizations and generous grantors like NewsMatch and Angel Guild.  And everyone listed here.  Thanks to all!
