Creative Loafing Writer Named Atlanta's 'Journalist of the Year'
The Atlanta Press Club bestowed the honor on senior writer Mara Shalhoup at their annual gala last week. Shalhoup was cited in part for her three-part series on the rise of the Black Mafia Family, a cocaine-trafficking network with ties to a music label and violent crimes.

She will receive a $1,000 prize.
