OC Press Club is Calling for Entries for Journalism Awards

The Orange County Press Club is taking nominations for the 2012 Journalism Awards. I’m thrilled that this year we’ve added new blogging categories for new media journalist! Last year OC Press Club offered only two, this year we have four categories for blogs (five if you include Best Photo).

I’m honored to sit on the Board of the Press Club and pleased that the door has been opened wider for the new media. Here are some details for entering.

* Stories, photos and posts must have been published in an OC-based publication or blog.

* It’s also okay to enter nationally published pieces if you’re an OC-based writer.

*All materials had to be published or posted between Jan. 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011.

Entry deadline: Friday, May 18, 2012.
