I’m proud to share Technical.ly was awarded the “Journalistic Impact” award (in the large tier no less!) last night in Chicago by the well-regarded LION: Local Independent Online News Publishers!
The leading driver was our big THRIVING reporting project on economic mobility, and I’m so proud that our other multi-local reporting was honored too. Best I can remember, this is our first proper journalism award, and it’s a big one — even though our communities have often kindly honored our work!
I shared this on social here and elsewhere.
Thanks LION, it really does mean a lot. Lots of love to give, but thanks Danya Henninger for finishing the project and submitting the application! And Diana Lu for graciously accepting on our behalf! Thanks to those original THRIVING backers Jessica Richards, Sophie Bryan, Elinor Haider, Ellen Kwon, Sandra Shea, Shawn McCaney and John Churchill. TY to our audio doc pals Alex Lewis and John L. Myers and Nichole Currie at Rowhome Productions! S/O those early THRIVING teammates like Aileen Connolly McNulty, Holly Quinn, Sabrina Vourvoulias, Julie Zeglen, Vincent Better, MBA, Paige Gross and many others!
