For the second time in four years, the News & Record has been selected by Editor & Publisher as one of the "10 That Do It Right." Says the newspaper trade magazine's editor, Greg Mitchell: We are not honoring the "10 Best" newspapers, but 10 papers that can serve as a model for others in one (or several) important areas: Editorial. Community awareness. Marketing. Tech. Attractive design. Online innovations. Diversity in coverage and in hiring. Unfortunately the article is behind a subscription wall right now.

The magazine thought that our online Town Square initiative rates notice. I do, too. The best thing about it is that virtually everyone in the newsroom and the interactive department has contributed to its development. (And, of course, we'd be nowhere without the suggestions and comments of y'all.)

We're in there with the Chicago Sun-Times, the Star-Ledger of Newark, Columbia Missourian, Asbury Park Press, Centre Daily Times of State College, Pa., Willamette Week in Portland, Your Mom of Davenport, Iowa., Noblesville, Ind., Daily Times, and Reflejos of Chicago.

Update: Here's E&P's online story about the feature.
