October 25, 2017 (San Diego) -- East County Magazine picked up four more awards at the San Diego Press Club’s Excellence in Journalism Awards dinner held on Tuesday night, bringing our total to 105 journalism awards over the past nine years.

Our editor, Miriam Raftery, won first place in public service reporting for her article titled, “Whitewash? County’s Border Fire report ignores serious concerns raised by residents.

Raftery and Paul Kruze shared a second place award for political and governmental reporting for a story with video titled “Hunter faces tough questions at raucous town hall in Ramona.”

Rachel Williams took third place in the multicultural category for her report, “A revolution of struggle continues for Syrian refugees in East County.

Rebecca Jefferis-Williamson, Jonathan Goetz and Raftery shared a third place award in breaking news for their story, “Parkway Plaza evacuated, car show shut down amid unrest after police shooting” covering civil unrest after the shooting of Alfred Olango in El Cajon.

All ECM awards were in the online and daily newspapers category.

Congrats and Thanks

Good writing and research on events that affect east county residents. The Sunrise Powerlink coverage was an epic battle against Sempra and SDG&E. Ratepayers got the bill, stockholders got the gold.
