Congratulations to Mark Spivey, a Courier News staff writer, who was crowned winner of the 2008 Best Newspaper Contest by the New Jersey Press Association. Mark Spivey is a talented writer who duly services the communities in which he covers. Mark Spivey is not only a distinguished writer, but is also an objective writer. Often, you will see writers who write subjectively, offering more opinion rather than fact, thus tainting stories and perspectives. In the past, that sort of writing style was employed by former Courier News writers who covered Plainfield. In the past we had negative publicity and dim light shed upon our County, Plainfield namely, letting truth and accuracy fall to the wayside.
Not so, however, with Mark Spivey. A trait of Mr. Spivey that rings true about his writing style and character is that he is consistent. Again, his writing is objective, following the story rather than people and their personal agendas. Since Mark Spivey began covering our local area, Plainfield and our neighboring communities have gotten accurate publicity, allowing for our achievements and advancements to be shared with the State. This is a luxury Plainfield and our district was not able to enjoy in the past due to maleficent writers.
Mark Spivey’s talent and skill in efficient and objective writing has generated positive feedback throughout central New Jersey. It is with great honor that I tip my hat to Mr. Spivey and his remarkable achievement in winning the 2008 Nest Newspaper Contest for his reporting and writing.
