Milford Cabinet win
top N.H. Press awards
   The
Telegraph of Nashua placed first for general excellence among dailies
in the 2009 New Hampshire Press Association awards competition, and
its sister newspaper, The Cabinet of Milford, won the general excellence
category among non-dailies.
The Telegraph’s
David Brooks received a lifetime achievement award from the New Hampshire Press Association.
The Monadnock Ledger-Transcript
of Peterborough won the
Dennis Joos Memorial Award, given for "a unique journalism effort
in covering an event or issue of unusual significance to the newspaper’s
readers." The award memorializes an editor for The News & Sentinel
of Colebrook who was killed in August 1997 when he tried to disarm a
man who had killed two state troopers and a judge before police shot
him to death.
The Ledger-Transcript
also won special recognition for community journalism/relevance among
non-dailies. The Keene Sentinel won that recognition among dailies.
Among awards for
individual distinction, Marty Karlon of the Cabinet was named editorial
writer of the year for non-dailies, and Jim Fox of the Valley News of
Lebanon for dailies; George Maidrand of The Contoocook    Valley
Villager of Hillsborough was recognized as columnist of the year for
non-dailies, and Katy Burns of the Concord Monitor for dailies; Kathy
Cleveland of the Cabinet placed first for writer of the year among non-dailies,
and Don Mahler of the Valley News was first in that category for dailies.
Also, Josh Bond
of the Ledger-Transcript was honored as rookie of the year among non-dailies,
and Karen Langley of the Concord Monitor for dailies; James Patterson
was named photographer of the year for dailies; and Trent Spiner won
an award for freelancer of the year.
