Smolkin, Layton Win Arthur Rowse Awards for Press Criticism

Two writers for American Journalism Review, the national journalism magazine published by the Merrill College, each won the Arthur Rowse Award for Press Criticism from the National Press Club, the organization announced June 19.

AJR Managing Editor Rachel Smolkin and senior contributing writer Charles Layton swept the print category of the Rowse Awards, the second consecutive year AJR won all of the Rowse print category. Smolkin’s “Adapt or Die” took the single entry category. This is her third Rowse award in the last four years.

Layton won the “body of work” award for his work that appeared in the magazine. He also is a veteran Rowse winner for his work in AJR, including wins in 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2000.

Also honored was NPR’s David Folkenflik, who won the broadcast segment of the criticism category. The awards will be presented at a banquet on July 16 at the National Press Club. The full list of winners can be viewed here.
