According to reports from local media and the Syracuse Press Club, the annual Professional Recognition Awards highlighted a range of journalism produced over the past year, with winners selected across print, broadcast, and digital categories. The awards are judged by journalists from outside the region and are considered one of the most significant local honors for media professionals in Central New York.
Among those recognized were reporters from Syracuse.com, which has been consistently honored for its investigative and public affairs reporting on issues such as health care, addiction, housing, and juvenile justice.
