Cartoonist Steve Breen Wins National Headliner Award



I totally missed last week's news that Steve Breen of the Union-Tribune in San Diego won first place in the Editorial Cartoons category of the National Headliner Awards, which are given out by the press club in Atlantic City and honor work in both broadcasting and print journalism. Luckily, Alan Gardner caught it and I can draft off of his fine blogging.

Second place was Walt Handlesman (Newsday); third place went to Clay Bennett (Chattanooga Times-Free Press). That is a solid group.

I would say that the Headliner Award is one of the half-dozen major awards that goes to editorial cartooning yearly. It's certainly a first- or second-graph obituary mention. Breen also won in 2009. Breen is not even 45 yet, and has already built an impressive, career's worth of awards wins.

You can look at all the winners on this PDF. The Union-Tribune is showing off Breen's work at a gallery related to the award win here.
