Plain Dealer and former Akron Beacon Journal sportswriter Terry Pluto is the recipient of the first annual Chuck Heaton award.
The award, presented by the Heaton family, was given at the Press Club of Cleveland's Journalism Hall of Fame inductions ceremonies Thursday night, November 13, 2008, at the LaCentre banquet and meeting facility in Westlake.
The Press Club presented the Heaton Award, named in honor of the legendary and beloved Plain Dealer sportswriter who died earlier this year. Press Club President Ed Byers said the award will be presented annually to the print, radio or television journalist who best exemplifies the sensitivity and humility which, along with his writing talents, were traits exhibited by Heaton.
Inducted into the Hall of Fame this year were Pete Cary, Tom Meyer, Bill Miller and Jane Temple. Elizabeth Sullivan was to have been inducted, but due to a family situation, she wasn't able to be present and will, instead, be inducted in 2009.
