Irwin Gratz awarded Wells Memorial Key

Award honors service to Society of Professional Journalists

By Samantha Delgado

Irwin Gratz, a radio producer for the Maine Public Broadcasting Network, was awarded the Wells Memorial Key for service to the Society of Professional Journalists at the president’s banquet on Tuesday night.

The award is SPJ’s highest honor.

Board member Kevin Smith said Gratz “is always willing to step up when needed.”

The audience broke into applause and whistles when Gratz’s name was announced.

Accepting the award, Gratz reminisced about a mentor, Roger Snow, who encouraged him to join SPJ many years ago when he was a student.

“The rest, as they say, is quite remarkable,” said Gratz, who has been in radio news for almost 30 years. He produces “Morning Edition” for Maine’s public broadcasting network and is secretary of the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation.

Gratz, who served as SPJ president from 2004-2005, said the organization has been a consistent source of professional development for him.

“It has made for me many professional acquaintances and good friends,” he said.

He struck a humble note when he said his contribution to the organization “pales in comparison to what the society has given me.”

The Wells Key is awarded in honor of Chester Wells, SPJ’s second president, who died in office in 1913 at age 26.

Nominees are evaluated by SPJ’s executive officers and chosen based on the amount of service they’ve given to the society over a period of years.

Former executive director Terry Harper was awarded the Wells Key at last year’s convention in Indianapolis. Harper died of brain cancer in June 2009 and his family accepted the award on his behalf.

      17/12/2006 at 11:37 pm I’ve been following the soogrespirn of this theme for some time now. How is it coming along? Judging by your to-do list posted in early November there’s some work still to do.Any estimated time for release, and how easy will it be to modify from the vanilla package? My this I mean, for example, that themes based around K2 all have a similar and easy to understand format and structure to them.I too am holding off a full release of my old blog until I come across a nice theme to support it. I’ve been after something simple but highly functional. this looks to be it.Regards,CK

      If you are talking of aioppcatilns to affiliate programs, the website URL that you need to put in is your website, if you have any. Places like Commission Junction and Linkshare evaluate first the website how it fits with their policies, potential marketability of the topic, etc. before accepting the website into their affiliate program. If you do not have a website, you cannot apply to these programs. Get a website first, before you apply.

  I needed to post you that very ltlite remark to finally give many thanks the moment again on the amazing methods you have documented on this website. It is simply extremely open-handed with you to offer easily exactly what some people could possibly have advertised for an e-book in making some profit on their own, mostly now that you might have done it if you ever considered necessary. Those smart ideas as well acted to be the easy way to fully grasp most people have similar eagerness like my own to see a whole lot more related to this issue. I believe there are many more pleasant periods ahead for individuals who looked at your website.
