The WNA is accepting nominations for induction into the 2018 Wisconsin Newspaper Hall of Fame through Monday, Sept. 17. Inductees will be recognized Thursday, Nov. 15, in Madison.
Since its inception in 2001, the WNA Foundation has recognized 48 visionaries with this honor.
Nominations are open to anyone — living or deceased — who has contributed above and beyond the call of duty to the Wisconsin newspaper industry. This includes publishers, editors, reporters, photographers or any other newspaper personnel who’ve made significant contributions to the industry. The individual should have dedicated at least 15 years to newspapering. However, length of service is not a major determinant.
Individuals outside of the working industry, including educators, jurists, attorneys or legislators, are eligible for nomination. The primary criterion is exceptional service on behalf of Wisconsin newspapers. The Hall of Fame selection committee or the WNAF Board may consider additional criteria as deemed appropriate.
