Staff writers with the St. Paul Pioneer Press were recognized with four awards at the annual Minnesota Society of Professional Journalists Page One Awards banquet, which was recently held at the Nicollet Island Inn in Minneapolis. The awards rely on judges from out-of-state chapters of the Society of Professional Journalists to review contest entries, in this case within the category of large newspapers.
Molly Guthrey won first place in business feature reporting for her story on home remodeler and cancer survivor Mary Haugh.
Frederick Melo and Mars King of the Pioneer Press received second place in business news reporting for a series of stories on Madison Equities putting its downtown St. Paul property portfolio on the market.
Vikings reporter Dane Mizutani received an honorable mention in “Best Beat Reporting” and sports editor Kevin Cusick won second place for headline submissions.
