NHPR honored with Quill & Ink Award

New Hampshire Public Radio was celebrated as a recipient of The Nackey S. Loeb School’s Quill & Ink Award at our First Amendment Award Event on October 22, 2022.. This award is not given annually, but instead is reserved to honor significant contributions to the First Amendment. New Hampshire Public Radio was honored for continuing to report the news, even as some of its staff were threatened with violence and had their homes vandalized.

“This is a fitting tribute to our newsroom's outstanding work and our journalists' courage. I'm glad that it recognizes the entire organization, because it takes everyone at NHPR to make our journalism possible,“ said NHPR President and CEO Jim Schachter.

The annual event honors New Hampshire individuals or organizations that have advanced or exercised their First Amendment rights in some special or extraordinary way.

2019 David Tirrell-Wysocki
