Lifetime Achievement
Acel Moore
Special Honors
6
In his interview for The History Makers Acel Moore says, There are two types of people: those who are and those who wish they were from Philadelphia. His quote could have easily been, There are two types of journalists: those who report the types of stories, which change lives and those who fail to make such an impact. Moore is a legendary columnist, writer and senior editor, who has had an amazing impact on American journalism for more than 5.0 years. Much of that time has been experienced in his native Philadelphia. He began his career with The Philadelphia Inquirer as a copy clerk, then became an editorial clerk and worked his way up through the editing and reporting ranks to become editor emeritus. Moore won the Pulitzer Prize in 1977 for local investigative reporting for a series on the abuse of inmates at Fairview State Hospital. Another of his crowning achievements, Moore is one of the three original founders - with Claude Lewis and Chuck Stone - of the organization that became National Association of Black Journalists. They created the Philadelphia chapter in 1973, and it became NABJs first chapter when it was founded two years later. Moore, who once oversaw recruitment and training at The Inquirer, always honored the responsibility of giving back and mentoring
others. So he created the Journalism Career Development Workshop, which has trained dozens of Philadelphia high school students. The program is now named in his honor. From the moment I met Acel Moore nearly 37 years ago, he encouraged me to reach for the highest journalistic goals possible. He has always been an advocate for diversity; inspiring many young journalists along the way. I am very proud of Acel being selected for this honor. While he continues to inspire others, he also has been a trailblazer in the industry, setting the standard for many to follow, said Sandra Long, fellow NABJ Founder and former Vice President/ Editorial Product Development for Inquirer, Daily News and philly. com. Given his influential role in establishing NABJ and his stellar professional accomplishments, NABJ proudly honors Acel Moore with the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Journalist of the year
Jacqueline Charles
Its often said that one mark of a truly good writer is a writers ability to transport you to another time or place. Since the devastating earthquake struck Haiti in January 2010 readers have depended upon the reporting of The Miami Heralds Jacqueline Charles to put them on the ground inside the battered country. The Haitian-Turks Islander who has long specialized in reporting stories out of the Caribbean continues to gain accolades for her coverage of the earthquakes aftermath and of the on-going recovery. In light of her role as a lead reporter on one of the most significant stories of 2010, NABJ is proud to recognize Jacqueline Charles as its Journalist of the Year. Charles began her career with the Miami Herald in 1986 as a high school intern. Upon completing her degree at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, she returned to the Herald as a fulltime journalist. Although still relatively freshly minted as a working professional, her first international story had global significance: the return of Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. She has continued to cover triumphs and tragedy in Haiti and other island nations with unrelenting energy to tell stories that not only impact but also educate and encourage change.
Special Honors
8
Her colleagues view her as an expert in the region and if theres a need to know whats going on there she is the first call of many. Jacquie has done more to focus the worlds attention on the tragedies and triumphs of Haiti than any other reporter, sometimes at great personal risks, said John Yearwood, World Editor of the Miami Herald and co-chair of the NABJ World Affairs Task Force along with Djibril Diallo, who nominated Charles for the honor. Haitians tell me all the time that they owe her a debt of gratitude. This recognition is well-deserved. Charles example of exemplary reporting in a place of great hardship is an example for journalists around the world.

Legacy Award
Claire Smith
When it comes to the career of ESPNs Claire Smith, she has steadily been confronted with people who tried to strike her out, but instead she kept running the bases, and scored the type of home runs which proved to be game changers for scores of sports journalists who came after her. A member of the Baseball Writers Association of America, Smith has written about sports for more than 25. years, for the Philadelphia Bulletin, Hartford Courant, New York Times, and Philadelphia Inquirer. For over 20 years, her beat was Major League Baseball. In July 2007, Smith started in a new direction and new medium when she joined ESPN as a news editor, working with the production teams on MLB game broadcasts. She is also the author of Don Baylor: Nothing But The Truth, a Baseball Life, an autobiography of a great baseball man. There is one very important defining moment in Smiths life and career. It came in the 1984 National League Championship Series between the Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres when she was physically removed by players from the Padres clubhouse after Game One. While the situation was eventually resolved, thanks to Baseball Commissioner Peter Ueberroth, it left scars for a number of years.
Special Honors
10
Commissioner of Baseball Bowie Kuhn, who once fought to keep women sports writers out of major league clubhouses, later called Smith, the best baseball writer in America. She stood strong so others could walk into clubhouses and locker rooms and get the stories which needed to be reported. Her courage under fire, grace under pressure, and above all her steadfast commitment to excellence the precise reasons NABJ proudly recognizes her as this years recipient of the Legacy Award. Garry D. Howard, editor in chief of Sporting News, notes Smiths contributions to the field of sports journalism. Claire Smith epitomizes what a great sports reporter and editor should be, said Howard. She has been a role model in this business for me, personally, and so many others. She taught me patience and excellence, and helped me understand that perseverance would be needed to reach any goal in the often difficult sports journalism field. I owe her so much for that sage guidance.
2011 Salute to Excellence Awards | August 6, 2011 | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 11
Special Honors
Emerging Journalist
Kimberley Martin
Whether its on the court, field, or track when Kimberley Martin shows up at work she comes to play at the exact same level as the professional athletes she covers. In the eyes of her peers the level of desire, discipline, and dedication she demonstrates is unmatched particularly when it comes to telling compelling and interesting stories about the sports news of the day. Martin has been with Newsday since November 2007. As a sports reporter, she has covered everything from major league baseball to professional football, and even NASCAR. Martins selection as Emerging Journalist of the Year recognizes her career achievements thus far, mindful that this is just the beginning. The excitement surrounding her being honored as a young journalist resembles the same excitement one might see when watching a game winning play in any sports stadium or arena. Hank Winnicki, Assistant Managing Editor of Sports said, Kimberley has become an indispensable part of the Newsday team. This is a prestigious national award, and everyone at Newsday is thrilled for Kimberley, shes a terrific writer and reporter and has handled every challenge thrown her way. This honor is well-deserved.
Special Honors
12
Before moving to Newsday, she covered sports for The Record in New Jersey where she had also served as an intern. Martin began her career in sports journalism after earning her masters degree in magazine, newspaper and online journalism from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. While on campus she was a sports staff writer for the school newspaper The Daily Orange. She also earned a bachelors degree in Psychology and African-American Studies from Wesleyan University. I have watched Kimberley develop since the start of her career. She embodies what the spirit of what this award means. I see her doing greater things in the sports journalism industry, said Gregory Lee, Senior Assistant Sports Editor, The Boston Globe and founder of the award. In a field still in many ways dominated by men the fact that Kimberleys talents are fully on display will certainly inspire the next generation of female sports reporters.
Special Honors
Pat Tobin Award
Sheila Brooks
Sheila Brooks is a pioneer. Long ago before a changing media landscape called for journalists to become entrepreneurs, Brooks started her own media company. Capitalizing on decades of experience as a broadcast journalist, Brooks founded a company which remains a go-to full-service media and communications agency and postproduction facility. SRB Communications, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary, offers programming for television and radio, broadcast-quality video production; event production; as well as creative, branding and strategy for advertising, marketing and public relations campaigns. Brooks is also an Entrepreneur in Residence at the John H. Johnson School of Communications at Howard University. In this role, she provides consulting services in strategy, branding and media outreach for the newly established entrepreneurial incubator for students and emerging business owners. Prior to starting her firm in 1990, Brooks built a distinguished television career as a news director, reporter, anchor and documentary producer at the CBS, NBC, PBS and Fox owned-andoperated and affiliate TV stations across the country.
Special Honors
14
She has also been inducted into the Silver Circle, a Hall of Fame honor recognizing more than 25. years of excellence in journalism from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. In light of all her accomplishments as a journalist and entrepreneur, NABJ is recognizing Brooks with its inaugural Pat Tobin Media Professional Award. NABJ member Pat Tobin of Los Angeles passed away in 2008. Tobin was president and CEO of Tobin and Associates, a prominent minority, woman-owned public relations firm. She was a dedicated activist for causes that impacted minorities, women and youth, and was co-founder of the National Black Public Relations Society. There is not a better fit for this award. Sheila Brooks embodies the namesake of this award, Pat Tobin, to a tee, said Aprill O. Turner, NABJ associate member representative and founder of the award. Sheilas commitment to NABJ, her heart for service, and her willingness to help show others the ropes of how to be a successful entrepreneur, hits the mark on all cylinders for this inaugural award. We commend her, she is truly deserving of this honor.

BEST PRACTICES
30 FOR 30
Special Honors
16
Some view sports as entertainment. Others see it as just a business. And then there are others who consider it a religion. What is undeniable is that sports is a very important part of American culture. Whether attending a live event, watching highlights or reading in-depth analysis of what went wrong or what went right in a game, fans the world over are emotionally invested in the winners and the losers. They also now more than ever want the backstory on the events, which once strictly inhabited the back pages. ESPNs 30 for 30 documentary series stands out as an exemplification of the very best in not only sports journalism, but also long-form journalism. Edgy, entertaining and enlightening, the films put the stories of the trials and tribulations, successes and failures of some of the countrys and the worlds most celebrated champions front-and-center. The series, which premiered in October 2009 and concluded last December, chronicles 30 stories from the ESPN era, each of which details the issues, trends, people, teams or events that transformed the sports landscape since the sports network was founded in 1979.
The production in totality represents something never seen on TV before through a team of diverse storytellers. The series includes the saga of how the Allen Iverson trial impacted the Hampton Roads, Va., community, the personal family story of running back Ricky Williams in Run Ricky Run, to One Night in Vegas on the night of a Mike Tyson fight and how Tupac Shakur never made it to the after-party. African-American directors John Singleton and Reggie Rock Bythewood had the opportunity to lead some of these stories. Additional contributors to the series include Ice Cube, Spike Lee, Morgan Freeman and Kirk Fraser among others. ESPNs collection of documentaries on these 30 riveting stories from over the past 30 years provides quality in-depth reporting to give viewers the complete versions of these events that often went untold, said NABJ Treasurer and Sports Task Force Chair Greg Lee. The series offers a different perspective of these stories that previous news accounts could not provide.
