Newspaper Wins National, Regional Awards
The Spokesman-Review and its staffers took top honors in two recent journalism contests.
Colin Mulvany won first prize in The Harry Chapin Awards for photo-journalism for his work on “Into the Heart of Darkness,” which chronicled a group of Spokane residents who traveled to Romania to help orphans.
