It has been a great year of independent, fiercely local journalism from AAN Members, each issue brimming with first-rate reporting and wrapped in a beautiful, thoughtfully designed cover. We’re proud to present this Year-In-Review Cover Show, a snapshot of the cover stories most important to the independent press in 2017, and a testament to the supreme design talent behind each issue. Click covers to enlarge.

Weekly Cover Shows will continue in 2018. To be included, send a JPG of this week’s cover along with any credit info to Molly Snead at molly@aan.org by 12PM EST Friday.
