This Is Reno received this year local, statewide and national awards for reporting, diversity efforts and advertising excellence.
“Our hard-working journalists made these awards happen,” said Bob Conrad, editor. “They suffered a lot of unncessary hostility and abuse covering COVID-19 and numerous, dangerous protests.
“Getting recognized by prominent journalism organizations shows their work had an impact. We also hope it shows they cover their community in a big-hearted way even when the topics are not always flattering.”

- National Press Club, Breaking News Honorable Mention for Reno riot news coverage
- National Association of Black Journalists, Student Achievement, General News Reporting on Reno riot coverage.
