Samantha Bambino, who has served as Associate Editor of the Lower Bucks Times for the past four years, recently took home three Keystone Press Awards.
She won first place in “Lifestyle/Entertainment Beat” for her coverage of how Bucks County musicians pivoted during COVID-19.
She won second place in the “Business/Consumer” category for the story “Business is bleak,” which chronicled Tre Fratelli owner Jim Murray’s struggles to keep his Langhorne restaurant thriving during Gov. Tom Wolf’s mitigation orders.
She also won an honorable mention in “Personality Profile” for “Going for the Wynne,” which introduced readers to 9-year-old Wynne Bloom, an Oxford Valley Elementary student with Asperger’s who is an award-winning race car driver with Oaklane Quarter Midget Club in Trumbauersville.
