Impact Award winners Brother Wease, Don Alhart and Carol Ritter
Saturday night I had the pleasure of attending the first-ever Rochester Media Association awards dinner, an event held to honor 25 members of the local media for contributions to their organizations and the general community.
A who’s who of Rochester media talent attended. The three top awards, called the Impact Awards, were presented to former Democrat and Chronicle reporter and columnist Carol Ritter, 95.1 The Brew radio personality Brother Wease, and WHAM13News anchor Don Alhart.
But I also want to congratulate Webster Post reporter Linda Quinlan, who also received an award as an Established Media Professional. Linda and I occasionally cross paths at Webster meetings, and while I am not a “real” reporter, I consider her a colleague who more than deserves the recognition she received last night.
It was a terrific evening, and a rare opportunity for local media professionals to relax among their peers. Read more about the night and check out some more photos (when they finally get posted; I took 99 of them) at the Rochester Media Association website.
