Jewish News wins 12 SPJ awards

MAYA GOLDMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER T he Detroit Jewish News won 12 awards for excellence in journalism from the Society of Professional Journalists Detroit chapter. The awards honor the best work in print, radio, television and digital journalism in southeastern Michigan each year.

“We appreciate the well-deserved recognition for our writers and designers and, by extension, the entire Jewish News staff,” said JN Publisher Arthur Horwitz. “At a time when our entire industry is under economic duress, we remain committed to providing our community of readers and advertisers with trusted, compelling and unique content. This year’s winners continue to build on the JN’s long-standing legacy of editorial excellence.”

Contributing writer Shari Cohen earned two awards — one in the local reporting category and one in the explanatory story category.

Corrie Colf, staff writer, won an award for sports reporting.

Contributing writer Esther Ingber won a general reporting award.

Elizabeth Katz, also a contributing writer, earned an award for health reporting.

Designer Michelle Sheridan won three awards for feature page design and one for cover design.

Finally, three JN columnists were recognized for general column writing: Alan Muskovitz, Suzanne Chessler and Ben Falik.

Andrew Lapin, who became the editor of the JN in January, emphasized how proud he was of the JN’s staff.

“Inheriting a talented group like this makes my tenure as the new editor that much better,” he said. “I also want to thank SPJ Detroit for recognizing the JN’s great work over the past year and for doing so even despite the challenges of this pandemic.”
