Hey, hey! Well, we’re feeling pretty happy and proud of our staff over here at Times Review Media. Please join us in raising a glass to our stellar staff writers, who won big at last week’s annual Press Club of Long Island awards ceremony. Held at the The Fox Hollow in Woodbury, Long Island, the annual media awards ceremony honors excellence in journalism every year (ever more important in our AI-infiltrated world — fight the good fight, fellow writers!).

1st place, Lifestyle Feature Narrative: “The Heart of the Sea: Montuak Fisherman Are in it for the Long Haul” by Chris Francescani, photographs by Jeremy Garretson
