Full disclosure: Our cofounder, Christopher Wink, is on the Pen and Pencil Club board, as is our editor-in-chief, Zack Seward, and both our lead reporter, Juliana Reyes, and contributing web editor, Jim Smiley, are nominated for awards. The nominees were determined by members of the Philadelphia media community via online voting.
Center City has the country’s oldest reporters club, the Pen and Pencil, and for the second year it’s hosting the Philadelphia News Awards.
Voting is online and anyone can participate — not just members. This might not always be a thing to share here, but some familiar faces have found their way onto the ballot, and, no, we’re not talking about our own lead reporter Juliana Reyes — whom you should definitely support as Community Reporter of the Year.
