Announcement from Features Editor Ben Williams and Deputy Features Editor Hank Stuever:
We are happy to share the news that Style reporter Michael Cavna has received a 2023 Ink Bottle Award from the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists who singled out his committed, authoritative Post coverage in which he “frequently focuses on editorial cartoonists, and brings national attention to the big news stories affecting cartoonists and the business of cartooning.” The AAEC also lauded Michael for the insight he brings to the beat as a talented cartoonist himself. “We’re all better journalists for Michael’s work,” the organization said.
The Ink Bottle Awards, which were announced Oct. 7, were started by the AAEC in 1983 “as a ‘thanks for the thankless tasks’ for dedication and service to the AAEC … [and] distinguished efforts to promote the art of editorial cartooning, and presented to those in proximity to the field — including historians, journalists, publishers and activists.”
Please join us in congratulating Michael.
