Funny . . . that headline’s a bit misleading, isn’t it? The way I read the article, the O’Colly has “placed” in the category of “Best All-Around Daily Newspaper” but knows not the placing.
The headline seems to indicate it has already been awarded “best” when it might just be second-best, third-best, or even lesser-than-that-best.
