The National Press Foundation awards Suki Dardarian, editor and senior vice president of the Minnesota Star Tribune, the Benjamin C. Bradlee Editor of the Year Award for 2024.
As the decline of local newspapers accelerates, Dardarian’s leadership of the Star Tribune and the 43 years she has spent producing impactful journalism for local communities stand out for their excellence, NPF judges said.
In August of 2024, the Star Tribune did the unthinkable in the news industry. It launched a reboot — of its platform, content, design and name — which resulted in the hiring of more reporters, expanded coverage beyond the Twin Cities across the state, and a focus on topics of direct interest to Minnesotans.
Dardarian “has been the face of this transformation,” Kyndell Harkness, head of culture and community for the Star Tribune, told the NPF Editor of the Year selection committee.
