Missed It: Jen Sorensen Wins James Aronson Award & Grambs Aronson Cartooning With A Conscience Award

Ms. reports that the alt-weekly cartoonist Jen Sorensen (Slowpoke) will receive the James Aronson Award Award for Social Justice Journalism and the Grambs Aronson Cartooning with a Conscience Award from Hunter College's Film & Media Studies school next month. The latter award is named after James Aronson's wife, who was an illustrator. Past winners include Steve Brodner and Tom Tomorrow, which is stupendous company. In a quote utilized in the article through the link, Sorensen talks about the honor coming at a time when she was struggling with the bleak outlook for media expressions such as her own. You can read about the award, started in 1990, here.
