SOMERS, N.Y. - The Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association recently announced that Christina Locurto of the Somers High School Class of 2015 has earned three Keystone Media Awards for excellence in journalism.
Locurto, a General Assignment Reporter with The York Dispatch, a Gannett newspaper located in York, Pennsylvania, won first, second and third place in the following categories for writing and video production:
First Place, News Multimedia Category: A video timeline and history of the Central York School book ban
Second Place, Business/Consumer Category: A feature story which investigated the world of ghost kitchens in York County, Pennsylvania
Third Place, Feature Story Multimedia category: A video that revealed the elaborate transformation of a popular local drag queen known as Madam D’s
Ms. Locurto, who graduated from Penn State University in May 2019 with a Journalism degree, has been a General Assignment Reporter with The York Dispatch since May 2019. Ms. Locurto said: “I owe much of my writing and storytelling skills to my teachers in the Somers Central School District and participation in the Tusker Times student newspaper.”
The Keystone Media Awards are a prominent series of awards presented to journalists whose work displays “relevance, integrity and initiative in serving readers, and furthers First Amendment values.” Presented annually, the awards are distributed among seven circulation size classifications. The York Dispatch earned 19 awards this year, securing its place as the Divisional IV winner for Outstanding News Operation.
In November 2023, Ms. Locurto won two first place awards during the Keystone Media Awards ceremony in the categories of Personality Profiles and Lifestyle/Entertainment and an honorable mention award in the Feature Story Category.
The 2024 Keystone Media Awards will be presented to all the honorees during an awards luncheon on October 17, in Harrisburg.
