Butler, editor of the Daily News and executive vice president/news for the Los Angeles Newspaper Group The Los Angeles Newspaper Group is an umbrella group of local daily newspapers published in the greater Los Angeles area by MediaNews Group. The news coverage of the newspapers are mainly local stories. . ``While the state's largest newspaper, the L.A. Times, always dominates the competition, it is rewarding to see that a newspaper one-fifth the size of the Times surpasses that newspaper and many others with superior coverage in such important categories to readers as local column writing and overall sports coverage,'' Butler said. ``With regard to Dennis McCarthy, he's won most every award, including this one previously, and deservedly so. I trust his regular readers will get a laugh out of the fact that on the day this award was announced, Dennis was on vacation so no column appears,'' Butler said. In the area of sports, the Daily News' sports section has repeatedly received acclaim for excellence in recent years, with it being named among the top 10 in the country for the last two years. ``The sports award is a team award, bringing recognition to all of the talented sports journalists who produce the Daily News' section every day,'' Butler said.
