CP staffers add some Keystone Press Awards to the trophy case

POSTED: Friday, April 13, 2012, 12:39 PM

The Pennsylvania Newspaper Association, which presents the Keystone Press Awards, is recognizing a number of CP staffers for the outstanding work in the past year! While they practice their acceptance speeches, here's a rundown of the big winners.

FIRST PLACE, INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING: Isaiah Thompson took home the prize for "Why is Harry Bennett Dead?" The story delves into the shooting death of a mentally ill man at the hands of Philadelphia police, and the scant investigation that followed it.

SECOND PLACE, SERIES: Isaiah and Anthony Campisi, "The Abandoned City." Coping with blight remains one of Philly's greatest challenges. Read this story from last April and get outraged about the recent fire in Kensington all over again.

FIRST PLACE, PERSONALITY PROFILE: Josh Middleton won for "Preaching Out" a profile on pastor and AIDS activist Adrena Ingram, a former homeless addict who turned around her own life and others'.

As well, CP photographer Neal Santos took home first and second place for best news photo. And our desgin team, led by Reseca Peskin, earned first place in page design.
