The Tributary today was awarded one of journalism’s most prestigious awards. ‘Cold-Blooded’ won the Online News Association’s feature reporting award, honoring excellence in online journalism that shows depth, insight and new understanding. The series has already been cited in filings to the Florida Supreme Court and U.S. Supreme Court.
In the ceremony held today, the judges commended Senior Investigative Reporter Nichole Manna “for her dogged pursuit of an apparent injustice that challenged a basic tenant of society, the right to a fair trial. The work, which was among a standout group of entrants, showcases the importance that small outlets hold for the communities they serve.”
“This award was no surprise to those of us lucky enough to work with Nichole every day, who see her passion for this work day in and day out,” said Nate Monroe, The Tributary’s executive editor. “She is an irreplaceable talent and has made this city better. I’m grateful the ONA judges saw this as well.”
