Since then, Landmark has consistently been awarded for General Excellence in the Missouri Press Association Better Newspaper Contest.

In 2016, Foley won the Tom and Pat Gish Award, a national honor given by the School of Journalism and Media at the University of Kentucky for displaying courage, tenacity and integrity in rural journalism.
