Business Briefs

The Middlesex County Bar Foundation announced that Jack Ellery, a radio host on WCTC, a Greater Media Inc. radio station, and Ken Serrano, a reporter for the Home News Tribune, have been selected as recipients of the 2007 Media Award. The annual award is presented to a member of the media who has rendered outstanding service to the public for coverage of legal issues or the legal profession.

Ellery is the morning host at WCTC-AM 1450, where he discusses topics such as legal and law-related issues. He has encouraged his audience to donate food, clothing, and money to several relief causes, and recently used his voice to host a video project related to elder law issues. He served in the U.S. Army and was a broadcaster for the Armed Forces Network from 1956 to 1958. His first broadcast experience in a large city was at WNBC and WNEW, New York City, in the 1970s. He also worked in Philadelphia and Tampa, and also has experience with satellite networks. Ellery is a graduate of Bates College, Lewiston, Maine.

Serrano has worked at the Home News Tribune since 2000, taking over the police beat in August of that year. He was the first-place recipient of the New Jersey Press Association's First Amendment Award for small daily newspapers for his story about communication glitches during a fire in Franklin that claimed the lives of two children. He graduated with highest honors from Rutgers College, New Brunswick.
