THE 2015 FRONT PAGE AWARDS
November 12, 2015
Protests over the death of Eric Garner, mayhem in the Middle East, mass shootings in the United States, the complexities and challenges of being transgender, and a stunning escape from a maximum security prison are among the stories covered by this year’s Front Page Award winners.
As in past years, the ceremony took place at The Down Town Association, one of New York's oldest private social clubs housed in a landmark romanesque revival building in the financial district.
