Background
and Distinctions |
|
| |
The
Naples Daily News was founded in 1923
as the Collier County News, a weekly
newspaper published in Everglades City.
By the 1940s, it was obvious that Naples,
40 miles to the north, was going to
be the county's boomtown, so the News
moved its operation there in 1948.
In 1963, the paper began publishing
the daily, changing its name to the
Naples Daily News. With the area's
rapid population growth and the sensitive
ecosystems of the Gulf of Mexico and
the Everglades, the News focuses much
of its coverage on land development
and the environment. Other important
topics include tourism, agriculture,
and recreation. In 1990 the Naples
Daily News was one of 10 newspapers
with under 50,000 circulation cited
for excellence by the American Society
of Newspaper Editors. In 1995 it won
the Charles E. Scripps Award for support
of literacy. The newspaper received
Best Use of Photographs in the 1996
Pictures of the Year competition sponsored
by the National Newspaper Photographers
Association.
