The National Press Foundation this week awarded WW reporter Nigel Jaquiss its Chairman's Citation.

The award highlights work outside the traditional categories in which the Washington, D.C.-based foundation honors journalists.

"Jaquiss and his editors at Willamette Week have repeatedly shown that even the smallest media company can produce journalism of the highest order and utmost consequence to readers," foundation chairwoman Heather Dahl said in a statement.

She cited Jaquiss' reporting on former Portland Mayor Sam Adams and former Govs. Neil Goldschmidt and John Kitzhaber.
