National News Annual Banquet 2024

The glow of the holidays felt especially warm this year as the National News family came together for our 2024 Annual Banquet. It was a evening filled with gratitude, laughter, and a deep sense of pride in the work we’ve accomplished together.

The evening began with a heartfelt welcome from our executive team, who reflected on the resilience and integrity of our r staff throughout a transformative year in news. As dinner was served and glasses were raised, we honored the people behind the bylines—the ones who chase facts, elevate communities, and hold the powerful accountable every single day. The awards portion of the night was especially meaningful, as colleagues cheered one another on and shared memories of collaboration and perseverance.

The 2024 banquet was more than a celebration—it was a reminder of the purpose that unites us. As we head into a new year, we carry with us the energy of this night: the joy of community, the power of storytelling, and the promise of even greater impact in 2025.

Happy holidays from all of us at National News.
