Awards to honorees from WESA and The Allegheny Front, as well as winners from other Pennsylvania news organizations, will be presented during a luncheon on Oct. 17 in Harrisburg.
The Robert L. Vann Media Awards for journalism excellence, presented on June 13 at a dinner on the University of Pittsburgh campus, recognize coverage of Africana communities and individuals. The PBMF also honored 90.5 WESA at the Vann Awards event with a special salute “for its longstanding commitment to diverse journalism coverage.”
This PMJA Annual Award recognizes work produced and reported by WESA reporter Kate Giammarise in collaboration with Ed Mahon of Spotlight PA. Former WESA health & science reporter Sarah Boden also contributed to the series.
