The Youngstown Press Club recognizes excellent work in journalism, media and communications in its Hall of Fame, Excellence in Media Award, First Amendment Award, Medal of Merit, and in its scholarships.
The Youngstown Press Club Hall of Fame commemorates those members of our community who have had long and distinguished careers in media. This award will be given to people nearing the end or at the end of their careers.
This year the press club will induct into the Hall of Fame Mona Alexander, recently retired news director at WFMJ; Bill Lewis, photographer for the Tribune Chronicle and The Vindicator; Nick Rich, news videographer for WKBN; Len Rome, news anchor at WYTV; and the late William Fleckenstein, co-founder and general manager of WHOT Radio.
The Excellence in Media Award honors those who are currently doing exemplary work in one of the mass communication fields. This year Excellence in Media Award will go to Madison Tromler, news anchor and reporter at WFMJ.
The First Amendment Award honors those who have engaged in behavior in defense of the freedoms protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, who has taken a stand with the risk of personal or professional harm and staunchly defended the freedoms protected by the First Amendment. The press club will award Lisa Abraham, longtime area journalist, with its First Amendment Award
The Medal of Merit is an award for a member of the Youngstown Press Club who has contributed significantly to the success of the club. This year the Medal of Merit goes to JoAnn Kolarik, WFMJ account executive and the former president of the Youngstown Press Club.
