Poynter announced the winners of its inaugural journalism contest, continuing a tradition that was most recently headed by the News Leaders Association.
NJ Advance Media reporter Adam Clark received the “Punch Sulzberger Innovator of the Year” award for The Oral History of Wawa, a story of how a convenience store became a cultural phenomenon.
The award honors a journalist or organization that excels in new ways of executing the craft of journalism and whose work is a bold new approach.
