To BENEFIT THE

expansion plans.
In the Design category, the Jewish
News placed second for its "magazine
feel with diverse and pleasing typog-
raphy." The "compelling design
befits compelling text," added the
judges.
Former staff writer Lonny
Goldsmith, now living in Chicago,
placed third in the Spot News Story
category for "A Strange Death,"
which described a mother's anguish
over the circumstances surrounding
the death of an Oak Park Marine
shot during a training exercise at
Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.
"Comprehensive coverage of an issue
that rarely makes it to a local news-
paper," wrote the judges.
"These various awards for writing
and design are a tribute to the
strength of our newsroom led by
Associate Editor Alan Hitsky,
Contributing Editor Jonathan
Friendly, Arts & Entertainment
Editor Gail Zimmerman, Copy
Editor Esther Allweiss Tschirhart
and Story Development Editor Kerr
Guten Cohen," said Robert A. Sklar,
editor of the Jewish News. "Their
leadership has combined with the
resourceful talents of our writers and
designers to produce what certainly
is one of the finest Jewish newspa-
pers in the country.
"As much as we appreciate these
accolades from our peers," Sklar
added, "we're very mindful of our
readers, whose insatiable appetite for
news and information about the
Jewish community challenges us to
continually re-evaluate our role and
our efforts on their behalf.
"Readers want high quality and
being named Newspaper of the Year
is a sign of our enduring commit-
ment to providing exactly that."
The Jewish News' 1998-99 IN
SourceBook, edited by Ellyce Field
and designed by former Managing
Art Director Charles Krasner, placed
second in the Special Section catego-
ry based on its "great depth on corn-
munity coverage," according to the
judges. The annual publication is a
guide to Jewish living in metropoli-
tan Detroit.
Members of the Wisconsin
Newspaper Association studied
3,000 entries from 118 Michigan
newspapers. Plaques will be present-
ed at the MPA's winter convention
in Grand Rapids.
The awards were announced in
conjunction with National
Newspaper Week, which runs Oct.
3-9.
