San Diego Union-Tribune reporters, photojournalists and editors received dozens of awards from the San Diego Pro chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists for their work in 2022, including the top award for Excellence in Journalism. “Awards are nice, but last year more people died in San Diego jails than in any previous year,” she said. This year’s San Diego SPJ awards were judged by the Press Club of Long Island. Union-Tribune reporter Lauren J. Mapp is a San Diego Pro Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists board member.
