Our Inductees are:

  • Jim Friedman -- For 34 years Friedman has written and produced more than 1,000 news features, documentaries and personality profiles of Cincinnatians that aired on WCPO-TV, WKRC-TV, FOX 19, CET and WLWT and won 64 regional Emmy Awards, the most Emmys of any individual in the history of Cincinnati television and reportedly second in the history of television. He has dedicated much of his career to diversity through his Dreambuilder Celebration that promoted diversity and inclusion in Cincinnati media and provided opportunities to minority writers.
  • Lois Ogden Sutherland -- Founder of the NKU Communication Department reads the headline on an article posted on the Northern Kentucky University website. It’s a revised and expanded version of what Michael Turney, NKU professor emeritus of communication, wrote for The Encyclopedia of Northern Kentucky. In the six decades Sutherland worked as a newspaper reporter, high school teacher, journalism professor, student newspaper adviser and freelance writer, she had a tremendous impact on generations of young journalists, including Mike Farrell, managing editor of The Kentucky Post and now journalism faculty at the University of Kentucky, and Richard Boehne, E.W. Scripps Co.'s president and chief executive officer.
  • Howard Wilkinson -- Howard Wilkinson reported he worked 29 years, six months and two days at The Cincinnati Enquirer in his retirement piece in its April 14 edition. He started a blog on WVXU-FM 91.7 on April 25 after 37 years in the newspaper business, “having taken an early retirement buy-out” from The Enquirer and experiencing a very short retirement. Prior to working for The Enquirer, he reported for the Painesville (Ohio) Telegraph, the Wilmington (N.C.) Star-News and the Troy (Ohio) Daily News. He worked for The Enquirer, principally as a politics writer and columnist, but also on special projects, particularly involving veterans. He has written extensively on veterans’ affairs and baseball (“One of my passions,” he said.) and covered major events in Cincinnati and Ohio, including the 1985 collapse of the savings and loan industry, the 1997 Ohio River floods and the 1993 Lucasville prison riots.
