Flood Coverage Dominates New
England Press Assoc. Awards
Coverage of the devastating flood that ravaged most
communities in the Merrimack Valley for ten days last May
dominated the New England Press Association Awards
ceremony held at the Boston Park Plaza Saturday night.
Winning first place for General News Story in the Daily
Newspaper category was the Lowell Sun for their
coverage of the flood in Lowell and surrounding areas.
The Eagle~Tribune took second place for their coverage of
the flood. The Valley Patriot story which was awarded
second place in the Monthly category focused on
the Red Cross shelter where flood victims were staying
and the harsh treatment they received by the National Red
Cross. Photos of the flood were also awarded as well as
Alison McGonigle of the Andover Townsman for her
“coverage of an insurance company’s slow
response to help policy holders after the floods.”
Also winning a NEPA award was Ken Johnson, of the
Eagle~Tribune who won third place in the Daily Editorial
Writing category, for his editorial brilliantly detailing
how the North Andover School Committee voted to spend
$187,000 of the taxpayers money to buy out superintendent
Harry Harutunian and refusing to tell the public why.
