At the Plaza Hotel in New York, on Wednesday, 13 June, for the first time, the John M. Higgins Award for Best In-Depth/Enterprise Reporting will be given to a worthy journalist. This is part of the annual Mirror Awards from the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University.

I will be there.

The Higgins Award is named for my late brother, a reporter and editor who covered the television industry. The Newhouse School established the award with a gift from Discovery Communications and Time Warner Cable Inc.

I'm looking forward to seeing some of my brother's friends in journalism and the TV industry, and to meeting the kind people of TWC and Discovery, and the Syracuse University people behind the Mirror Awards.

A list of the nominees may be found here.

Look for me on the streets of New York.

That has to be a bittersweet occasion - enjoy it anyway. Wow!

I agree with the previous sentiments: it's a wonderful tribute, and very cool, but also one that is tinged with sadness.

It was always such a hoot to see you interact with your siblings: the similarities and the differences. John and Meghan were taken from us too soon. xo
