CONTEST RESULTS
The Evangelist wins Catholic Press awards
Bishop Howard J. Hubbard won second place for "best regular column by a bishop or archbishop." Noted among his monthly columns in The Evangelist were:
• his "diary" accounts of his Dec. 2009 peacemaking trip to Jordan, Israel and the West Bank with the National Interreligious Leadership Initiative for Peace in the Middle East;
• his similar diaries on his summer 2010 trip to Africa in his role as chair of the U.S. bishops' International Committee for Justice and Peace; and
• his May 2010 column urging ratification of the START treaty and a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, in which he stated that nuclear arms are both immoral and unneeded.
Judges called the diaries "a wonderful glimpse of the Holy Land and Nigeria...a combination of travelogue, history and contemporary issues." (Reread them at www.evangelist.org.)
Freelance photographer Nate Whitchurch won third place for "best photo story" for his coverage of the June 12, 2010, ordination of five priests for the Albany Diocese. Judges said his many photos had "all the elements of a story."
Catholic journalists who attended the convention also had the chance to meet Catholic New Service's newest columnist: Rev. Kenneth Doyle, chancellor for public information for the Albany Diocese and pastor of Mater Christi parish in Albany, as well as a former editor of The Evangelist.
Father Doyle, who was a guest at a reception during the convention, recently replaced long-time "Question Box" columnist Rev. John Dietzen, who died in March. His column can be found each week on page 2.[[In-content Ad]]
