We’ve done it again: Mission Local took home the “general excellence” award from the Online News Association on Friday at a ceremony in Atlanta, the second time in three years we’ve been honored with the national prize.
We were among some of the top newsrooms in the country: the Boston Globe, ProPublica, and the Markup took home general excellence awards in their size categories.
Judges were particularly impressed with our focus on data and visual journalism, our ongoing election coverage, and our commitment to training young reporters.
We described ourselves as “San Francisco’s pluckiest outlet,” and judges agreed.
Our submission included:
Our much-missed data reporter, Will Jarrett, has his fingerprints all over this entry, and this award is a testament to the impressive data work he began at Mission Local and that we’ve built on.

“This is another reminder that a small and savvy newsroom can do superb work,” said Executive Editor Lydia Chavez. “As a small nonprofit, we have consistently outreported much larger competitors with multimillion-dollar budgets. And we will continue to do so, serving the Mission District, San Francisco, and our readers.”
As always, none of this is possible with your support — please consider donating to keep Mission Local running.
