My good pal Seth Koenig, a reporter at The Times Record in Brunswick, is on fire. He recently won 2009 Journalist of the Year for the Maine Press Association. Over the weekend, he won 2009 Journalist of the Year for the New England Press Association.
Seth's greatest strengths are the pride he has in his work and the teamwork attitude he brings to work every day. He has sacrificed a lot in his years at The Times Record: a barely livable wage, countless hours away from his family and an ever-expanding beat to cover.
I sort of recruited Seth to my former beat at The Times Record; he took over when I left Maine in the summer of 2006 for a journalism fellowship at Harvard University. I knew he had the potential to overtake me and just about every other journalist in Maine in terms of accomplishments, but I didn't anticipate he'd make such quick work of it. I predict that later this year, perhaps in early May, Seth will add some other major accomplishments to his acumen.
Well done, Seth!
