'The Survivors Project: Telling the Truth About Life After Sexual Abuse' is an anthology of more than 50 personal essays, written largely by non-professional writers and edited by journalists, all connected by pain and tragedy.
Earlier this month, the National Association of Black Journalists announced the winners of the 2007 Salute to Excellence Awards, which "recognize exemplary coverage of people of color or issues in the African Diaspora." Riverfront Times took home two first-place awards: Kristen Hinman for her "Basketball by the Book" series, in the Enterprise division; and Ben Westhoff for "Ace of Spaides," in the Business division. Seattle Weekly's Nina Shapiro also placed first in the Feature division for "Schooling the District."
