Missouri Press Association
Serving Missouri Newspapers Since 1867
The Missouri Newspaper Hall of Fame grew by five this year as the 36th class of honorees was inducted during Missouri Press Association’s (MPA) 160th Annual Convention and Trade Show, Sept. 24-26, in Columbia.
Videos for each inductee are produced on behalf of Missouri Press Association and shown during the Missouri Newspaper Hall of Fame banquet. This year, longer versions of the induction videos were produced to better showcase the unique stories that make each inductee worth celebrating.
You can find all of the videos (and more MPA-related content) online at www.mopress.com/videos/.

About the Missouri Newspaper Hall of Fame
The Missouri Newspaper Hall of Fame was established in 1991, and inductees or their families receive Pinnacle Awards in honor of the inductees’ service to the newspaper industry and their communities. Inductees’ plaques will join the permanent display of inductees in the MPA office in Columbia and in the student lounge in Lee Hills Hall at the Missouri School of Journalism.
