Several Rhode Island journalists, including a Providence Journal staff member, were honored this morning for their work reporting on diversity and social justice.

Journal copy editor Stephanie McKenna was among those recognized at the Rhode Island for Community and Justice Metcalf Diversity in the Media Awards. McKenna was commended for her daily community news columns, which report on events in the Cape Verdean/Cape Verdean-American, Southeast Asian/Asian-American, African/African American communities.

Established in 1988 to honor the late Michael Metcalf, publisher of The Providence Journal, the honor is one of the premier awards given in the state recognizing professional journalists, media outlets and Internet media for promoting diversity awareness and social justice. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the award.
