Courant Capitol Bureau Chief Chris Keating has been named Master Reporter by the New England Society of Newspaper Editors.
"Chris joins a distinguished list of Courant reporters and columnists to receive the award, which recognizes an exceptional body of work over the course of a career," according to an email sent this afternoon by Courant news manager Andrew Julien
Keating came to The Courant in 1990 from the Greenwich Time. He started out in the town news trenches, working in the Enfield news bureau. He also did stints in the Middletown bureau and on the business desk, but it has been in the Capitol pressroom where he truly has made his mark.
The society will present the awards at a ceremony in Dedham, Mass. on May 5.
