Uptown News Wins Big for its First Edition<\/p>\n
San Diego Uptown News garnered seven awards for journalistic and design excellence at the 36th Annual San Diego Press Club Awards ceremony held October 20 at the San Diego Hall of Champions in Balboa Park.<\/p>\n
The fledgling community newspaper was honored with first and second place awards for general news, and first place for reviews, in the non-daily category. Architectural critic Ann Jarmusch took first place for \u201cGrowing Pains,\u201d an investigative piece about a controversial renovation plan by The Academy of Our Lady of Peace. Caron Golden won a first place award for her profile of the Sausage King, a culinary icon in Mission Hills.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re very proud of these prestigious honors,\u201d said publisher David Mannis. \u201cThe notable thing about the seven awards is that they were all for our very first edition, published June 19. It was the only issue eligible because of the June 30 cut-off date for the Press Club awards. We competed against newspapers throughout San Diego County, including the major dailies in the Web site categories, who had a year’s worth of editions to pick entries from.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe strive to improve Uptown News with every edition,\u201d continued Mannis. \u201cOur Editor in Chief Ron James and Editor Leslie Wolf Branscomb have recruited some of the best names in local journalism to write informative and entertaining stories that are important to our community. Ken Pagano, our art director, has designed our newspaper with a bold and fresh approach. We can\u2019t wait to see how we fare in future competitions, with a year’s worth of news and features under our belt. Our great Uptown communities deserve an award-winning newspaper.\u201d<\/p>\n
