Senate Lauds Publisher Francis
The Hawaii State Senate recognized Dennis Francis, president and publisher of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, who was recently named "Publisher of the Year" by Editor & Publisher magazine, the leading journal of the newspaper industry. "Francis is well-deserving of Publisher of the Year," said Senate President Donna Mercado Kim. "His successes in professional achievements are more than matched by his charitable work. On behalf of the entire Senate body, I commend Dennis for his many contributions to our community, and wish him many more years of success and fulfillment in his professional and personal endeavors."
