SAN JOSE -- Bakersfield Californian photographers won two first place awards in statewide contest results announced Saturday.

Adamo's winner was in the Feature Photo category.

The awards were announced by the California Newspaper Publishers Association, a nonprofit trade organization.

The Los Angeles Times was named "Newspaper of the Year,'' a brand new category given to the paper that wins the most top awards overall.

Christie's winner was in the Art/Nature Photo category.

* First Amendment/Freedom of Information: City emails by Lois Henry.

Barrientos was a second place winner in the Coverage of Youth or Education category for a story, on Oct. The photo featured Sergio Valle of Shafter High.

Governed by a 35-member board of directors culled from more than 800 daily, weekly and campus newspaper members, the association does its work from offices in Sacramento, including legislative lobbying and legal support.

The article detailed how parent Carolyn Thompson suspected someone was tailing her to and from her son's school, Tevis Junior High.

The CNPA also honored four Californian entries with Certificates of Achievement:

* Coverage of Environment: "Dying in the Kern River" by James Burger and Jill Cowan, a package of stories, photos and graphics about individuals who drowned in the Kern last summer.
