The Arizona Daily Star has been named Newspaper of the Year in its circulation category by the trade group Suburban Newspapers of America.

The Star took the top spot for general excellence among daily papers larger than 30,000 circulation. Judges, from the American Press Institute, called the Star "an absolutely first-class newspaper that is a pure pleasure to read. The content is rich, offering readers a full complement of news, features and other information. "

"The Daily Star walks the talk: It is invested in its readers and its community."

Judges praised the paper's "sophisticated typography, design and layout that invites the reader into each page. It's obvious that time is spent on planning photo, graphics and artwork so that they tell their own stories."

Online, judges said, "the Daily Star does a great job of leveraging its Web site by alerting readers about stories, slide shows and multi-media offerings. It's a new era, and The Daily Star has jumped on board."

Suburban Newspapers of America is a trade association representing nearly 2,400 daily and weekly newspapers in the United States and Canada.

Winners in this year's contest will be recognized at the SNA Fall Publishers' and Advertising Directors' Conference, to be held in October in Minneapolis.
