CTSPJ’s 2023 Excellence in Journalism Contest winners

Each year, the Connecticut pro chapter of SPJ recognizes the best in Connecticut journalism in its Excellence in Journalism Contest.

This year’s entries showcase the important, compelling, entertaining and compassionate work being done by journalists across the state.

This contest also supports the mission of CTSPJ as our biggest fundraiser. We give out thousands of dollars in scholarships to journalism students in or from Connecticut each year, and support other efforts, such as the Legal Defense Fund, CCFOI and CFOG.

This contest is possible because we swap judging duties with an SPJ chapter in another region of the country. A very big ‘thank you’ to all the Connecticut journalists who volunteered to judge the contest of our swap partner, in exchange for their time judging our contest.

We thank you for your support. If you’d like to become more involved in the board and our activities, reach out to any of the board members.

All certificates will be mailed to the winners’ newsrooms, unless otherwise requested.
