Mimi Award Nominations
May 17, 2011 to June 01, 2011
We're seeking nominees who:
1. Care deeply about the work, the people we're reporting on and the reporter.
As one Providence Journal reporter said, I can't imagine this award going to an editor who didn't care as much as Mimi did. The depth of her caring is so rare. She was a total tigress. She fought for you. She would stand up for the good story and the reporter. To have those two qualities means so much. … Mimi would stay up all night with you working on a story.
2. Have a real passion for the Act II journalism championed by the Dart Center, and a keen understanding of how to navigate the emotional landscape where these stories are found.
Mimi had a special place in her heart for work on sexual assault, domestic violence, violence against women and the stories of people affected by tragedies such as the 2003 Station nightclub fire in West Warwick, Rhode Island. She connected with the subjects, cared for them and about them and for their families as well. She kept them in mind as if she knew them personally, even though she rarely did, throughout the reporting and editing process.
3. Challenge reporters to do better and nurture them along the way, forcing them to see possibilities for a story they may not have seen. This type of editor is acutely aware that even a small story may mean as much to a reporter's development as the big stories the paper is pursuing.
4. Have a deep respect for the English language and the ability to help reporters write crisp, grippin
