The Record also received third place in the in-house circulation ad category. The ad is titled “Morning in your kitchen” and a version of it appears in this week’s newspaper. The ad was designed by Lyn Baxter and the ad copy was written by Sobczak.

Since The Record was founded on Dec. 1, 2015, the newspaper and its staff have received 20 awards from the MPA.
