Jewish
News
wins 12 SPJ 
awards

T

he Detroit Jewish News won 
12 awards for excellence in 
journalism from the Society of 
Professional Journalists Detroit chap-
ter. The awards honor the best work 
in print, radio, television and digital 
journalism in southeastern Michigan 
each year. 
“We appreciate the well-de-
served recognition for our writers 
and designers and, by extension, 
the entire Jewish News staff,” 
said JN Publisher Arthur Horwitz. 
“
At a time when our entire industry 
is under economic duress, we remain 
committed to providing our com-
munity of readers and advertisers 
with trusted, compelling and unique 
content. This year’
s winners continue 
to build on the JN’
s long-standing 
legacy of editorial excellence.” 
Contributing writer Shari Cohen 
earned two awards — one in the local 
reporting category and one in the 
explanatory story category. 
Corrie Colf, staff writer, won an 
award for sports reporting.
Contributing writer Esther Ingber 
won a general reporting award. 
Elizabeth Katz, also a contributing 
writer, earned an award for health 
reporting. 
Designer Michelle Sheridan won 
three awards for feature page design 
and one for cover design. 
Finally, three JN columnists 
were recognized for general col-
umn writing: Alan Muskovitz, 
Suzanne Chessler and Ben Falik. 
Andrew Lapin, who became the 
editor of the JN in January, empha-
sized how proud he was of the JN’
s 
staff. 
“Inheriting a talented group like 
this makes my tenure as the new 
editor that much better,” he said. “I 
also want to thank SPJ Detroit for 
recognizing the JN’
s great work over 
the past year and for doing so even 
despite the challenges of this pan-
demic.”
