The Connecticut Mirror was honored at the 2020 NENPA convention.
The Connecticut Mirror was honored with a number of awards at the New England Newspaper & Press Association’s recent annual convention, including a first-place award for its coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic and seven other first-place awards.
The awards, announced earlier this month, went to stories published from August 2019 through July 2020.
“I am very proud of our staff and gratified that their hard work is so well recognized,” said Executive Editor Elizabeth Hamilton. “The COVID pandemic was especially challenging to cover, as it involved a complete reshuffling of the newsroom to respond to a crisis we never could have imagined and challenged us to provide a deeper level of service to our readers.”
