Pakistan Link Writer Wins Merit Award from New America Media
Anaheim, CA: Pakistan Link’s writer Ras H. Siddiqui was recognized as a Merit Recipient in the Outstanding Cross-Cultural Coverage category for the 2017 NAM CA Ethnic Media Awards.
His article “Jews and Muslims Hold Joint Vigil at the California State Capitol” (http://pakistanlink.org/Community/2016/Dec16/30/01.HTM) published in the Link in December 2016 was chosen from amongst many entries for its content and style.
