A&E sections earn finalist mention

For the second year in a row, the Arts & Entertainment section that appears each Thursday in the Lake County Record-Bee has earned a "finalist" mention from the California Newspaper Publishers Association (CNPA) in its Better Newspapers Contest.

The A&E section is produced each week by Cynthia Parkhill, a former editor of ArtNotes.

A&E sections that were originally published May 13 and 20, 2010, were submitted to CNPA in the daily newspaper category with a circulation of 10,000 or less. The Record-Bee's entry was among the top 10 percent in its division, which advanced to final judging by a Blue Ribbon committee.

Cynthia also earned a finalist mention in the 2009 competition, which honored A&E sections originally published in October 2008.
