The Star-Revue Media Organization Wins Statewide Awards

The Star-Revue is a member of the New York State Press Association, a trade organization for community newspapers that was founded in 1853. Every year they run a Better Newspaper Contest, and over the years we have frequently won awards. Between the two papers we publish – we took five awards (below)

This year we won two in Brooklyn — one for Spot News Coverage, which was my article about the warehouse fire at 481 Van Brunt Street, where we used to be a tenant. The other was for Eric Newstrom’s outstanding News Coverage of the ongoing Brooklyn Marine Terminal fiasco.

In Manhattan (where we also now publish the Village Star-Revue ), we won three awards. As we wrote in the May issue of that paper:

The 173 year old New York State Press Association is a trade organizations for community newspapers. They hold an Oscar-like contest at its annual spring convention, held in Saratoga Springs.

Last year, the Village Sun won a number of awards for stories that ran in 2024. This year, the Village Star-Revue took three awards in its very first year of eligibility.

“Next year, we hope to win a bunch of first places,” said publisher George Fiala, who himself won a second place for Front Page Design.
Phyllis Eckhaus and Michele Herman both won awards for Historical Story.

The Star-Revue also publishes a paper based in Red Hook, Brooklyn. That paper won two awards.
