The award was presented by former State Representative Ray Rickman and accepted by Kate Nagle. Monica White, Tracey Minkin, Caitlin Gill, Dan Lawlor, and Anthony Faccenda were also honored.
"GoLocal reported on the successful community effort to open the Davey Lopes Pool in the other Providence," said Rickman. "GoLocal launched a media campaign to cover the story and educate the residents of both Providences. Some actually believe without GoLocal the community leaders would not have won the battle to get the Davey Lopes Pool opened. The exciting on-line news source is to be thanked for their wonderful use of photos and the language used and the constant reporting."
This is the 26th year the Metcalf Award has been awarded. The award is presented annually by Rhode Island for Community and Justice for outsatnding journalism with a focus on community driven issues.
