The Alabama Press Association (APA) held its summer convention on Saturday, June 29, at the Perdido Beach Resort in Orange Beach, where the winners of the 2019 APA Media Awards (AMA) contest were announced.
Mid-South Newspapers Publisher Horace Moore, commenting on the honors, said, “Awards are good to receive. It seems to boost morale. It’s always great to receive awards from the Alabama Press Association.”
