September 28, 2012 (San Diego’s East County) – For the fifth year in a row, East County Magazine reporters and photographers will be taking home awards in the San Diego Press Club Excellence in Journalism Awards. Nadin Abbott, Tom Abbott, Jim Pelley, Ryan Schuler, and ECM editor Miriam Raftery are all winners in the 2012 competition.

The winning categories—and just how many awards ECM has won – will be announced on October 23 at the San Diego Hall of Champions.

Jim Pelley is our Ocotillo-based photojournalist who has been documenting issues involving the Ocotillo Express wind project. Nadin and Tom Abbott have covered major wildfires, political events and other top news stories. Ryan Schuler, our sportswriter, was an intern with ECM at the time he picked up his award, though we don’t yet know whether he won for his ECM stories or coverage in the Daily Aztec, where he also writes.

I wasn't going to post it, but one of my friends here, did so yesterday on GD...

I have never been to an awards ceremony, and have been doing this since Occupy started.

[Tsiyu]

What an honor. Thanks for telling us.

5. When I find the time

Though some of the characters in real life are indeed, stranger than fiction.

[Tsiyu]

6. Yeah

people would never believe me if I write the truth...it's too unbelievable sometimes.



Food at the shindig? Anything good?

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Well some of our local shennanigans

one of our local cities is small enough where dirty politics is done by the council member himself, NOT the staff.

And of course four of the candidates running for office, three are incumbents, are all from the same church.

8. Nothin like a little politics with your religion

To be honest, a shindig is a party with food and alcohol ( unless one is Southern Baptist and then the drinkin' is done behind the wood shed )

so I was wondering at the awards thingy if they had/will have any good food!

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. They will and that will include wine and beeer

since we don't drink, either hubby or me... I hope they got good coffee.

They have food from many restaurants in town.

And I will have to actually dress up, something I rarely do when in the field.

[Tsiyu]

10. It's nice to dress up now and then

says the peasant!

Yes, good coffee and a few nice desserts and I can have a great time. Get that caffeine/sugar rush instead of the alchohol buzz

I'm sure you will have a grand time, and you should post pics of your award when you return.
