2007 Studs Terkel Awards

Presented annually, the Studs Terkel Media Awards honor outstanding media professionals for excellence in covering and reflecting Chicago’s diverse communities.  Terkel Awards highlight reporters who take risks in covering social issues by offering new or unusual perspectives on topics of general concern, from housing to neighborhood safety and beyond. The awards reward a body of work rather than a single article or series, and go to journalists at any stage of their career.

Bringing together media with community and nonprofit movers and shakers, join Studs Terkel and hear from the winners of this year’s 17th annual Studs Terkel Awards: Stephen Franklin, labor and workplace reporter at The Chicago Tribune; Mary Gavin, publisher of the Evanston Roundtable; and representatives from WRTO 1200 AM, La Tremenda (Univision Radio Network).Bringing together media with community and nonprofit movers and shakers, join Studs Terkel and hear from the winners of this year’s 17th annual Studs Terkel Awards: Stephen Franklin, labor and workplace reporter at The Chicago Tribune; Mary Gavin, publisher of the Evanston Roundtable; and representatives from WRTO 1200 AM, La Tremenda (Univision Radio Network).
