Horowhenua Chronicle's Build Our Road campaign is a finalist in the Best Editorial Campaign or Project category.
Horowhenua Chronicle editor Janine Baalbergen said it was a no-brainer to champion the cause, as it was something so important to locals.
"It was one of multiple efforts to convince the Government of the importance of a four-lane expressway around Levin — efforts that paid off as the expressway will be constructed within the next decade."
We face stiff competition in this category: Stuff, NZ Herald (2) TNVZ, newsroom.co.nz and Mediaworks, but it is a great achievement to have made it as a finalist in this category.
