The Society of Professional Journalists, Northern California Chapter, presented SFBG Executive Editor Tim Redmond (pictured) with a 2006 Excellence in Journalism Award "for thought-provoking editorials that balance passion with facts and solid arguments." The criticism award went to Anneli Rufus of East Bay Express for book reviews that "are intelligent commentaries capable of standing of their own, alongside the works they are reviewing."
Stephen Lemons reports that he and photographer Lilia Menconi were denied entry yesterday when the press was briefed on an indictment against Maricopa County's schools superintendent. Subordinates of County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said the paper was banned because it was "in litigation" with the Sheriff's office; according to Lemons, that's a reference to a New Times lawsuit seeking access to public records. "Take good notes!" Lemons yelled at fourth-estate colleagues as he was escorted from the building. "We’re from the New Times and we’re being kicked out."
Mark Hunter is among a handful of local photographers who have managed to attract some attention with "party photography," reports the student newspaper of Virginia Commonwealth University. After making a name for himself with a Web site that "has risen as a sort of unofficial underground archive of the L.A. scene," Hunter now contributes a weekly half-page of color, club-scene photos to the VVM paper. "LA Weekly is my favorite," Hunter says. "They embraced me to the utmost."
