Cordova Times columnist Hank Nuwer took home an Alaska Press Club award earlier this month.

Nuwer won 3rd place for Best Profile writing in the small print category for his story “Aunt Jean: An unforgettable Alaskan artist,” about the adventures that inspired the work of Aunt Martha Jane Shadrach.

Nuwer’s column, Alaska Frontier Days, primarily covers statewide history and notable Alaska figures. Read his other work here.
