“Great educational connection to the reader.”
– Virginia Press
Association
At their annual awards banquet on Saturday, April 18, the Virginia Press Association announced that Eastern Shore News reporter Jennifer Cording and photographer Jay Diem won first-place awards for their Multimedia Feature Report and Personality Portrait Photo of United Poultry Concerns and its president, Karen Davis.
The story, set at UPC’s headquarters & sanctuary in Machipongo, VA, and published on November 17, 2014, was chosen for making a “Great educational connection to the reader, as many folks eat poultry. Plenty of detail and nice variety of imagery with good composition made for an effective multi-media feature.” The winning photo succeeded in “capturing a moment that shows the subject’s character. This photo stood out in this category because the photographer did a great job sharing.”
United Poultry Concerns is deeply honored by the award-winning opportunity provided by Jennifer Cording, Jay Diem, and the Eastern Shore News to educate the public and the Virginia Press Association about the beauty and plight of chickens and turkeys, and our work on their behalf. We sincerely thank the Virginia Press Association for the honor of these much-deserved awards.
