MAPLEWOODIAN.COM RECEIVES SECOND STATE JOURNALISM AWARD

Editor Joe Strupp

We stopped by the New Jersey Society of Professional Journalists Excellence in Journalism Awards Sunday to pick up our second such honor in the Local News category.

After winning last year for coverage of Superintendent John Ramos, we won this year for our reporting on the departure of former Columbia High School baseball coach Joe Fischetti for alleged bullying of some players.

The awards were held at the Robert Treat Hotel in Newark.
