AP writing and editing awards
Right about now, reporter Nancy McLaughlin and editor Betsi Robinson will be accepting statewide awards from the Associated Press at a luncheon in Raleigh.
Nancy won the Thomas Wolfe Award, which honors the single best newspaper story in 2006 by a paper with circulation of 30,000 or more. Nancy also won this award in 2002.
Betsi won the Carl K. Bell Award, which honors excellence in editing in any AP member across the state. An N&R editor has won this award each of the last five years.
Staffers here won both awards last year, too.
Update: Runners up for the writing award were our own Lorraine Ahearn and Liz Leland of the Charlotte Observer.
