Each year, Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications announces the Mirror Awards, which honor excellence in reporting on what they call "the media industry" (which I think of as "The Press," more or less). Among these is an award named for my late brother, a gruff but lovable journalist.
Other nominees for the Higgins Award were:
Timothy Burke and Jack Dickey, "Manti Te'o's Dead Girlfriend, The Most Heartbreaking And Inspirational Story Of The College Football Season, Is A Hoax," Deadspin.
Ryan Burns, "Ferndale Gothic," The North Coast Journal.
Congratulations to Mr. Greve and to the other Mirror Awards winners and nominees.
