Associated Press Team Wins New York Press Club Gold Keyboard Investigative Journalism Award for Series, "NYPD Spies on NYC."
AP and hyperlocal news site DNAinfo.com were awarded six wins each in the competition. Awards presentations are June 11th at Manhattan's Water Club.
An Associated Press team has won top honors in the 2012 New York Press Club Awards for Journalism, winning the Club's Gold Keyboard Award for the investigative series, "NYPD Spies on NYC." The stories by Matt Apuzzo, Adam Goldman, Chris Hawley and Eillen Sullivan fired renewed debate over a central, post-9/11 question: How far should government go to prevent another major terrorist attack in the United States?
The Gold Keyboard was one of six entries by Associated Press writers that were judged exemplary by the Press Club jury, a tally matched by hyperlocal news website DNAinfo.com which won Best Web Exclusive Content for its "Crime and Safety Report," an in-depth analysis of New York City crime that ranked 69 neighborhoods from safest to least safe based on violent and nonviolent crime.
Bloomberg media properties dominated the Business Reporting awards this year with nine individual wins by Bloomberg broadcast, the Bloomberg wire service, Bloomberg Markets and Bloomberg BusinessWeek magazines.
Nearly 400 entries were received in this year's competition, submitted by journalists publishing or broadcasting for 58 metro New York news organizations.
An enduring tradition in New York media, the annual New York Press Club Awards For Journalism honor excellence in the craft by writers, reporters, editors, producers, shooters and multimediographers. Entries are considered in more than 20 categories of reporting. Judging is by prominent working journalists, former journalists and academics who are selected for their expertise in each category.
Award presentations will take place Monday, June 11th, at the Press Club's Awards and Installation of Officers Dinner at Manhattan's Water Club.
MORE INFORMATION about the Awards, the Awards Dinner (including reservations) and the New York Press Club can be found on the Club's Web site: www.nypressclub.org.
