Three Southern Illinois GateHouse papers receive recognition
Congrats to three Southern Illinois newspapers that have received "Inner Circle" recognition from our parent company, GateHouse Media:
After a week of evaluating GateHouse newspapers and websites, 178 newsrooms were certified into the company's "Inner Circle" for the first quarter; the announcement was made today. The quarterly program measures newsrooms in several print and online categories, including updates, photo galleries, and Facebook, as well as categories such as specific alternative story formats in print. This year, categories such as video and community blogs are new to the process.

- Murphysboro American
- Randolph County Herald Tribune (Chester)

SIU student - a Marion HS grad - earns more recognition from GateHouse Media
I recently blogged about Southern Illinois University sophomore and Marion High School graduate Riley Swinford, who designs killer front pages for the Daily Republican in Marion, has received recognition from GateHouse Media for his work. Here is some more news of recognition received yesterday ... one of his page designs was named best in all of GateHouse for March.
Congrats Riley and keep it up!
We're looking for a few great nurses ....
Do you know a Southern Illinois nurse who is caring, dedicated and hard working?
Nominate them to be honored in our special section,"Salute to Nurses." Visit http://www.dailyrepublicannews.com/salutetonurses by Monday, April 16th so they will receive the recognition they so deserve.
The survey is also available through our sister GateHouse Web sites from West Frankfort, Harrisburg, Benton and elsewhere.
