New Vision cited for ‘general excellence’

The New Vision has been cited for “general excellence” among Catholic newspapers of its size throughout the U.S. and Canada.
The newspaper that serves the Diocese of Tucson won second place in the Catholic Press Association’s annual contest, it was announced at the Catholic Media Convention on May 29 in Anaheim, Calif.
“This paper has many spiritually uplifting features,” the judges said. “We particularly liked the story about the 10 inmates confirmed by Bishop (Gerald F.) Kicanas. You serve your multicultural community well with stories in Spanish… Bravo!”
Said Bishop Kicanas:
“Congratulations to Bern Zovistoski, managing editor, and Omar Rodriguez, graphic designer, for this recognition.”
The Compass in Green Bay, Wisc., won first place in the competition, which was among newspapers with a circulation of 17,001 to 40,000.
Third place went to Catholic Universe Bulletin in Cleveland. Honorable mentions were awarded to the Tennessee Register in Nashville and Western Catholic Reporter in Edmonton, Alberta.
The New Vision is made available to all parishes throughout southern Arizona. If you can’t find the newspaper at your church, ask your pastor.
