Tickets on sale for Nackey Loeb School's 10th annual First Amendment Awards
CONCORD — Tickets are on sale for this fall’s Nackey S. Loeb School of Communications First Amendment Awards, featuring author and political commentator Pat Buchanan.
The 10th annual event is Nov. 29 at the Capitol Center for the Arts in Concord. It honors the First Amendment and New Hampshire residents who strive to exercise and protect the essential rights of free speech and free press. It also is a fundraiser for the nonprofit school, which has been offering free media and communications classes and low-cost workshops for more than a decade.
Tickets are $50 for the event, with a limited number of $75 tickets available for the event and a reception at which Buchanan will be present. Tickets are available at the Capitol Center Box Office by calling 225-1111, or by visiting ccanh.com.
Past recipients of the school’s First Amendment Award include former state attorney general Philip McLaughlin, former Keene Sentinel executive editor Thomas F. Kearney, The Laconia Citizen, former legislator Daniel Hughes, Dover City Councilor David Scott, Londonderry High School journalism adviser Mary Lukas, First Amendment attorney William Chapman, ConVal School Board member Gail Pierson Cromwell and the Portsmouth Herald.
The late Nackey S. Loeb, president and publisher of the New Hampshire Union Leader, founded the nonprofit school in 1999 to promote understanding and appreciation of the First Amendment and to foster interest, integrity and excellence in journalism and other forms of communication.
The school offers classes and workshops for students of all ages on topics including the First Amendment, journalism, editorial writing, photography, broadcasting, social media and public speaking. More than 6,000 people have participated in classes, workshops and other school-sponsored events.
Led by presenting sponsor People’s United Bank, the 2012 First Amendment Awards event is backed by a wide variety of business, civic and media leaders. The growing list of sponsors includes: PSNH; Amoskeag Beverages; Bank of America; TD Bank Charitable Foundation; The Common Man Family of Restaurants; BAE Systems; Mosse & Mosse Associates; Lincoln Financial Group; Fidelity Investments; SilverTech; Fallon Community Health Plan; Wheelabrator Technologies; Live Free or Die Alliance; BIA; Devine, Millimet; Howe, Riley & Howe, PLLC; Sean and Kirsten Mahoney.
