Three Chronicle staff members have won 2006 Educating Reporting Awards, and two others have won awards for page design.

The reporting awards were announced Thursday by the National Education Writers Association. They went to Scott Carlson, for beat reporting on libraries and archives; Paul Fain, for reporting on college and university presidents; and Peter Schmidt, for coverage of affirmative action.

The design awards, announced earlier in the week by the Society for News Design, went to Rob Bryson for a December 8, 2006, layout for an article on research into hallucinogens, and to Daphne Sterling for two layouts: one for a December 8, 2006, conversation between Michael Bérubé and David Horowitz; and one for a February 10, 2006, article on a rumor’s effect on a professor’s career.
