I guess we all knew it was coming. If you’re picked as the Newspaper of the Year it goes to reason that the editor will be picked as Editor of the Year.

And that’s what happened. The Suburban Newspaper Association’s Newspaper of the Year award went to the Brooklyn Paper and now the honors of Editor of the Year go to our man Gersh, who is so deserves this distinction.

Congratulations, Gersh. You’re one heck of an editor! And the work you’ve done at the Brooklyn Paper is something to be proud of. Here’s an excerpt from the award winning Brooklyn Paper.

The Suburban Newspapers of America, which represents nearly 2,400
daily and weekly newspapers in both urban and suburban markets, cited
Kuntzman as the country’s top weekly editor for providing the “most
focused and sharply written coverage” and for “good exploratory stories
and graphics.”

On hearing the news, Kuntzman, 42, was atypically humble.

“An editor doesn’t win awards like this alone,” he told The Paper’s
staff, which had gathered in the newsroom. “The only reason I was even
nominated is because of the amazing work everyone here is doing. Now,
get back to work.”
