Named Best Ohio Newspaper in 2009 and 2010 by the Associated Press, The Columbus Dispatch keeps Ohioans informed with in-depth articles on matters of local, national, and global importance. Delivered in the wee hours of the morning, the pages of the Sunday Edition arrive packed with inky dispatches on politics, features on travel, and sporting analyses to keep subscribers' hands smeared with newsprint throughout their daily routine of watering vegetables or cleaning pianos. Leafing through info-rich broadsheets, readers can pore over coverage of the previous day's Ohio State football game, snicker over Jeff Stahler's snarky political cartoons, or absorb the opinions of a variety of op-ed columnists. In addition to the weekly paper, those who subscribe soon enough will receive the special Thanksgiving Day paper.
