Overview
 
(Source: STARS & STRIPES, Aug 3 1963)
Every year the Public Affairs Division of HQ USAREUR selects the six best Army newspapers published by units and installations within USAREUR. The selection is made on the basis of support of Army and local troop information programs and command missions, news content, writing style, typography and appearance.

In the first part of 1963, there were 107 authorized newspapers in USAREUR.
