Windy City Times reporters won two Peter Lisagor Awards from the Chicago Headline Club May 3 at the Union League Club of Chicago.
The Chicago Headline Club is the largest Society of Professional Journalists chapter in the country. Lifetime Achievement Awards were presented to nationally syndicated columnist and Chicago Tribune editorial board member Clarence Page and WBBM Newsradio reporter John Cody.
Chicago Sun-Times reporter Kim Janssen received the second annual Anne Keegan Award for Reporting. Janssen wrote a compelling and emotional story about the life of 62-year-old Mexican immigrant Delfino Mora, who was murdered by alleged Chicago gangbangers.
Windy City Times' first award was in the feature writing category, for the "Generation Halsted: LGBTQ Youth Series". The series was written primarily by Kate Sosin, Erica Demarest and Bill Healy, and designed by Kirk Williamson.
The second WCT award went to Ross Forman for sports writing, for his feature "Esera Tuaolo: Coming back from darkness."
