Message from the Editor: A proud day for the Recorder

Posted

Each year, the Ponte Vedra Recorder submits entries of its best editorial and advertising work to the Florida Media Association’s Awards of Excellence in Stuart, Florida. I’m happy to report that this year the Recorder took home 22 awards from the competition, which was the highest number of awards given to a media outlet there.

The Recorder’s 22 awards included nine first-place plaques and a Judge’s Choice award, as well as six second-place honors and six third-place honors.

I’m very proud of our small but mighty and the work that they produce week in and week out. We do not take our responsibility to our readers and advertisers lightly, and I believe that is evident in the quality of this award-winning work. Thank YOU for your continued support of the Recorder and local journalism. Without you, this recognition wouldn’t be possible.
