The Foggiest Idea Wins 2nd Place Prize at 2020 PCLI Media Awards

Long Island, NY (July 20, 2020) – Richard Murdocco, real estate columnist and founder of The Foggiest Idea, won a second-place award at the 2020 Press Club of Long Island Media Awards.

The PCLI Award earned was a prize in the prestigious Real Estate – Narrative category, which recognized The Foggiest Idea‘s July 2019 exclusive story about the Village of Freeport’s since-completed plan to demolish a local historic landmark to clear the way for a new car dealer’s parking lot. You can read the award-winning piece here.

“It is always an honor to have The Foggiest Idea‘s work recognized by the Press Club of Long Island,” Murdocco said. “Local media plays an invaluable role in holding local officials accountable for their actions, and I am proud to do my small part in Nassau and Suffolk Counties.”

The first-place winner in the real estate category was Newsday‘s groundbreaking Long Island Divided series, which brought much-needed daylight to the racial disparities throughout the region’s real estate practices. In addition, a piece by News 12 Long Island meteorologist Geoff Bansen that featured Murdocco prominently took top honors in the weather-related category.

Murdocco’s reported and opinion work on the real estate sector is frequently read by real estate developers, elected officials, civic leaders, journalists, and others who are influential in the land use arena.
