CBS NEWS WINS GOLD KEYBOARD IN 2021 NEW YORK PRESS CLUB JOURNALISM AWARDS FOR NORAH O’DONNEL INVESTIGATES CBS NEWS AND THE NEW YORK TIMES WIN THE MOST AWARDS

CBS News is the major winner in the latest New York Press Club Awards for Journalism. The network’s installment of Norah O’Donnell Investigates on military sexual assault won the 2021 Gold Keyboard Award, the competition’s highest honor. CBS News and The New York Times were the top award winners with nine and eight respectively.

Other major award winners are Emma Goldberg of The New York Times with the Nellie Bly Cub Reporter Award for Giving Voice to COVID-19’S Unsung Heroes and Survivors. The Rev. Mychal Judge Heart of New York Award goes to the New York Post for its Hero of the Day series in the newspaper category and to The New York Times for its Virtual Walking Tours in the Internet category.

Additional winners in 30 categories were selected from almost 600 entries submitted by TV, radio, newspapers, websites, magazines and newswires in New York City and around the U.S. Awards will be presented later this summer during an online event.

New York Press Club President Debra Toppeta applauded all the award recipients and added that the level of entries attests to the continued good health of journalism and the wonderful work journalists do. "We had a record number of contestants this year, all from stand-out reporters, editors and producers," said Toppeta. "During a difficult year with numerous challenges, the work of journalists continued at a high level, a testament to their dedication to the profession."
