Congratulations on your recent Better Newspaper Contest Awards.

The press provides a valuable service to the citizens of Mississippi by keeping us informed on issues affecting our State.

Reporters have the difficult task of delivering the news in a timely fashion, making sure the information is accurate and distributing the information in an evolving media environment.

At the same time, you must deliver your stories in a concise, well-written manner while making the reader a part of the story.

Your recent recognition is a testament to your efforts.

I am privileged to work with so many of you on a daily basis.

I appreciate the work you do and congratulate you once again on your awards.

 

Delbert Hosemann

Secretary of State
