We are thrilled to learn that Tibisay Zea has been given this year’s Rhode Island for Community & Justice Metcalf Award for Diversity in Media for her reporting on “Aging in the Shadows,” which took a hard look at getting old as an undocumented immigrant. The feature ran in English in DigBoston and in Spanish in El Planeta.
Also congratulations to Jim Botticelli, who was recently given an award by the Massachusetts Preservation Society for his work on Dirty Old Boston. Jim writes throwback columns for BINJ, and we support his extensive DOB efforts on social media as well.
