A dedication to the community, a commitment to facts, and a tenacity to unearth buried truths have earned reporters writing for BeaverCountian.com spots as 12-time finalists in the Press Club of Western Pennsylvania’s 2020 Golden Quill Awards.

Journalism professionals have judged reporting by BeaverCountian.com to be among the best in twenty-nine counties in Western Pennsylvania and neighboring counties in Eastern Ohio and Northern West Virginia.

BeaverCountian.com’s reporting from last year has been recognized by its peers in a broad range of categories including investigative reporting, breaking news, feature reporting, politics and government, business news, health, lifestyle, and profiles.

The reporting was made possible with the support of BeaverCountian.com’s premium subscribers, who fund the publication’s independent journalism endeavors in Beaver County.

BeaverCountian.com had 9 nominations in last year’s awards and took home 6 Golden Quills, including the coveted best-of-show award.

The nominations are for non-daily publications that include newspapers, magazines, and new media publications like BeaverCountian.com.
