Roedel, who was a reporter for the NNBV from January 2018 to February 2019, also earned second-place honors in the same category for his video story, "A look inside Zeppelin, the 21-and-up social gathering space set to open at The LOOP in Reno's South Meadows."

Also earning awards for the NNBV at this year's NPA contests were Nevada News Group page designers Kyler Klix and Lauren Solinger, who earned second-place honors in the categories of Overall Design and Page One Design.
