Theresa Gawlas Medoff

My writing recently won two national awards in the 2013 National Federation of Press Women Communications Contest.

I received a first-place award nationally in the category of Advertorial Writing and a second-place nationally in the category of News Reporting for an Online Publication.

First Place in Advertorial recognized two lengthy advertorial supplements that I wrote for the Better Business Bureau of Delaware and the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition. Both of those supplements appeared in Delaware Today magazine in 2012 and were used as stand-alone publications by the sponsoring organizations.

Second Place in News Reporting was awarded to my 2012 article “Delaware makes dramatic progress against colon cancer,” which appeared on the news website of Delaware’s NPR radio station, WDDE.

The awards were presented formally in August at the NFPW 2013 National Communications Conference in Salt Lake City.
