Man, you have to wonder, right?

 

So the same paper can enter Daily Section Under 30K and the Daily Section Under 15K?

 

Well said, fellow mediaguy.

A paper with a circ at 15,000 or fewer that does not earn top 10 in under 30,000 then is considered for the under 15,000 award. That's a change from last year when a paper at 15,000 or fewer could win top 10 under 30,000 and top 10 under 15,000.
