MANCHESTER, NH – New Hampshire high school journalists are invited to apply for The 2021 Brodsky Prize, established by a former editor of Manchester Central High School student newspaper Jeffrey Brodsky to encourage innovation by a new generation of student journalists. The $10,000 Brodsky Prize is open to all New Hampshire high school students, attending public, charter or parochial schools.
Judging criteria include a student’s journalistic initiative and enterprise, as well as what Brodsky calls “a contrarian nature and out-of-the-box thinking.” Since many school newspapers have been challenged by the COVID pandemic, this year’s Brodsky Prize focuses on student responses to essay questions, using a Solutions Journalism lens.

Half of Maine s population of age 16 and up has received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, Gov. Janet Mills said Sunday.
That amount includes 38% of eligible residents who received their final dose, Mills said in a news release.
“We’re now approaching 1 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine administered into the arms of Maine people, a remarkable achievement made possible through our collaboration with health care providers, volunteers, and countless others throughout the state,” said Jeanne Lambrew, commissioner of the Maine Department of Health and Human Services. “
The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported Sunday that the state has been the site of more than 57,000 cases of the virus and 765 deaths, including one new one, and more than 400 infections.
