Ohio’s Best Journalism is the only Ohio competition that honors journalists who fulfill the SPJ mission: defense of the First Amendment, support of literacy, resistance to censorship, advocacy for openness of public records and meetings, media self-criticism and community service.    Journalists from Region 10 served as this year’s contest judges.  Many thanks for our 2024 contest sponsors (shown below) for making our contest possible.
