Chicago, IL -
The annual Chicago Headline Club Peter Lisagor Award finalists have been announced and Chicago's LGBT newsweekly Windy City Times received a nomination in the category of editorial writing for a non-daily newspaper.
The submission is for a series of 2013 editorials by WCT Publisher Tracy Baim on the battle for marriage equality in Illinois.
The winners of the 37th annual awards will be announced Friday, May 2. A wide range of Chicago-area online, print and broadcast media are finalists again this year.
Last year, Windy City Times won two Peter Lisagor Awards. The first award was in the feature writing category, for the "Generation Halsted: LGBTQ Youth Series". The series was written primarily by Kate Sosin, Erica Demarest and Bill Healy, and designed by Kirk Williamson. The second WCT award went to Ross Forman for sports writing, for his feature "Esera Tuaolo: Coming back from darkness."
