Pittsburgh City Paper is honored to announce it has won six awards in the
2022 Keystone Media Awards, a statewide journalism competition for Pennsylvania media companies.
The awards, published on April 28 by the Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association, are presented each year to Pennsylvania journalists whose work "displays relevance, integrity and initiative in serving readers, and furthers First Amendment values."
Editorial Designer Lucy Chen won first place in the News Page Design Category for her print layout on Kimberly Rooney's story on Critical Race Theory.
Columnist Tereneh Idia won second place in Columns for three of her 2021 pieces: Didn't we almost have it all? Contemplating Black arts in Pittsburgh, The global (and local) politics of Black beauty, and The soul of a country.

While the greatest reward comes from folks reading its stories, City Paper's staff is honored to be recognized for their hard work.
