The Marion County Record was in the national spotlight last year when its offices were raided by local police. The small-town Kansas newspaper received the 2024 William Allen White National Citation, the first time the honor has ever been awarded to a media outlet instead of an individual journalist. Eric Meyer accepted the award and gave the keynote address at this year's KU's WAW Day.
