Next month the NENPA – the New England Newspaper and Press Association – will recognize writers, editors and photojournalists from the Lowell SUN with nine awards. The association will gather for its annual convention and dinner at Boston’s Park Plaza Hotel on February  11-12. While the final placement has not been announced – these are the SUN staff winners:

Reporter Jennifer Myers – two awards for education reporting and history reporting; Photojournalist Tory Germann for video; Reporter Erin Smith for social-issues feature; Reporter Rita Savard for government reporting; Photojournalist David Brow and former SUN reporter David Perry for audio-slide show; Sports writer Chaz Scoggins for sports column;  Lifestyle editor Suzanne Dion and designer Joanne Deegan for arts & entertainment section; and SUN staff for headline writing.

Kudos to these SUN staffers who work hard everyday at their craft! The story in today’s SUN is not yet on-line – link to be posted later.
