Happy days! I just found out I'm one of the finalists for the 2008 Livingston Awards for Young Journalists, "the nation’s largest all-media, general reporting prizes for professionals under the age of 35." Even cooler is that this was for a story published in our scrappy NYC hometown alt-paper, The Indypendent, alongside other finalists from CNN, NPR, The New York Times, Washington Post etc. The same story won a 2008 James Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism for "a local view of a national crisis."
Yay! Next stop Pulitzer...
