I’m a huge “Hamilton” fan, so I don’t quote it lightly. Last week, we were notified that IN is a finalist in six categories in the 67th Annual Jesse H. Neal Awards, and I cannot overstate the sense of accomplishment — and humility — this generates in me.
Our categories are:
Neal Award recognition is an honor any year, and the volume of recognitions this year is what brought Lin-Manuel Miranda’s creation to mind.
More importantly, I’m honored to have the opportunity to represent and lead the team that put together an exceptional scope of work. This team has been resilient, creative and professional throughout the year. Each member deserves recognition, so in addition to those noted above, allow me to share their names: The editors are Paul Curcio, Sean Allocca, Susan Kelly and Liz Skinner. The journalists are Jeff Benjamin, Mark Schoeff Jr., Emile Hallez and Nicole Casperson. Our special projects manager is Brittney Grimes, our multimedia team is Stephen Lamb and Angelica Hester, and our digital designer is Ken Wilson.
They did not throw away their shot.
