Six AAN member papers in the Southeast picked up 61 percent of the awards in SPJ's Green Eyeshade Awards' print (weekly/monthly) division. SPJ has announced the finalists for the awards, and the order of finish will be announced at the Green Eyeshade Banquet April 5. Creative Loafing Atlanta and New Times Broward-Palm Beach picked up six each, while Miami New Times snagged four. Memphis Flyer has two nominations, and Mountain Xpress and Creative Loafing Charlotte came in with one each.
The IRE has awarded a certificate to Tom Robbins of The Village Voice for "Lush Life of Rudy Appointee," which proved the virtual, nonstop spending spree of tax dollars by an aide of former New York Mayor Giuliani on items for himself and his friends. The Voice's request for documents and subsequent reporting led to a 17-count indictment this week against Russell Harding, former president of the New York Housing Development Corporation.
Cartoonist Ted Rall, whose work appears in several AAN papers, and Katy Reckdahl, a frequent contributor to Gambit Weekly, are among the five winners of the 2002 James Aronson Awards for Social Justice Journalism. The judges say that Rall's "Cartooning with a Conscience" has "increasingly grown irreverent, cutting and iconoclastic, almost at times seeming to eschew humor in favor of mordant portraiture." Reckdahl was recognized for her work on the homeless of New Orleans. "Reckdahl's work challenges the stereotype that the homeless create their own situation because they are criminals, substance abusers or mentally ill," the judges wrote.
Nigel Jaquiss of Willamette Week and Pete Kotz of Cleveland Scene are awarded special citations by the Education Writers Association.
Connie Wimer, owner/publisher of Cityview in Des Moines, is the first woman ever inducted into the Iowa Business Hall of Fame. Her company, Business Publicatons Corp., publishes the weekly Des Moines Business Record in addition to Cityview and six other publications.
