Ruralite Services announced Denise Porter as its “Writer of the Year” for 2014.
Porter is a freelance writer for Tillamook PUD, based in Tillamook, Oregon. She is responsible for writing and photographing a monthly feature on PUD customers for Ruralite magazine.
The Ruralite “Writer of the Year” is selected based on points awarded throughout the year from the magazine’s monthly writing contest.
In 2014, Porter earned story of the month honors twice, and was also nominated four other times.
“Denise has a knack for finding interesting people and making their story come to life with her words and pictures,” said Ruralite Assistant Editor Mike Teegarden. “But I most appreciate that she is never satisfied. She constantly works to get better at her craft.”
Porter has been writing for Tillamook PUD since 2008. Four times this year she also earned the magazine’s photo of the month award. Denise won “Writer of the Year” in 2009 and 2011.
“I am thrilled Denise has been honored by Ruralite,” said Tillamook PUD Public Relations Manager Barbara Johnson. “She produces wonderful work that our readers enjoy and does so in a professional and approachable manner.”
Ruralite Services is a not-for-profit cooperative corporation formed 60 years ago to serve the communications needs of 58 consumer-owned electric utilities in Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
