McKnights LTC News also is a finalist for eight Regional Awards, five in addition to the three listed above. The American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE) sponsors the annual Azbee competition, which recognizes top print, digital and online journalistic efforts.

McKnight’s Long-Term Care News’ sister publication, McKnight’s Senior Living, also is a national finalist for Best Web News Section, and is a finalist for five regional finalists overall.
Specific placings of each award (Gold, Silver, Bronze or other) will be announced later this spring. ASBPE will hold its national awards ceremony May 7 in Chicago. Regional awards will be announced and handed out in April at events around the country.
