Comment on Does anyone know the last time a New Jersey newspaper won a Pulitzer? by Bernard L. Stein

My friend Richard Aregood won a well-deserved Pulitzer for his editorials in the Newark Star-Leger in 1985. Gil Spencer won the same award for his editorials in the Trentonian in 1971. Bill Caldwell of the Bergen Record won for commentary in 1971.

More recently, Stephen P. Breen of the Asbury Park Press won for editorial cartooning in 1998; Matt Rainer of the Star-Ledger won for feature photography in 2001 and the Star-Ledger staff won for breaking news in 2005.

The Star-Ledger was also a finalist for breaking news in 2001. Robin Gaby Fisher of the Star-Ledger was a finalist for feature writing in 2001 and 2005. Borzou Daragahi of the Star-Ledger was a finalist for international reporting in 2005.

Probably there are others. That’s what a quick search of the Pulitzer site yielded. Not bad for places “sandwiched between NYC and Philadelphia.”

Comment on New America Media Executive Director Likes the WORD by Francesco Calazzo

The compliment is well-deserved indeed and also makes me proud to have been part of THE WORD in its infancy. Prof. Gregg Morris has been at one time my teacher, mentor, comrade, compadre and dear friend, though the craziness of life tore us apart.

I knew from the start he would make THE WORD into something big and worthy, well at least news-worthy. I have so many memories of those first self-imposed deadlines and HTML coding. Mrs. Close comment makes me smile inside, and that is something.

Congratulations to all of you/us and to Prof. Morris

Sincerely
