Brooklyn Rail reaps Ippies!
Congratulations to The Brooklyn Rail, reporter Brian Carreira and editor Theodore Hamm for being recognized by the Independent Press Association's 2005 Ippy Awards for outstanding community journalism.
3rd Place, Best Investigative/In-Depth News Story Brian J. Carreira, "No Room at the Inn: Ratner Continues to 'Game' Officials and the Public" (June 2005)
2nd Place, Best Editorial/Commentary Theodore Hamm, "Arthur Miller's Brooklyn Legacy" (March 2005)
1st Place, Best Overall Design: Amelia Hennighausen
1st Place, Best Story About Immigrant Issues Gabriel Thompson, "When Even the Minimum Wage is a Distant Dream" (December 2004/January 2005)
Over the last couple of years, Brain Carreira's series on Ratner's land grab has provided Brooklynites with, hands down, the best updates on the fight over the fate of Prospect Heights.
Ted Hamm's editorial, "Arthur Miller’s Brooklyn Legacy," explores the theme of rampant overdevelopment in Brooklyn in "Death of a Salesman," in which "Willy [Loman] wrestles mightily not only with what’s happening to himself and his family but also with what’s happening to his home and neighborhood."
