Northern Light Media author Lew Freedman was pleased to announce recently that his book, Northern Journey: A Report From The Frontier, won the First Place Award for the Best Outdoor Book category in the Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers (AGLOW) annual contest. He wrote, "This is memoir-like with stories about Alaska, from all around Canada and trips to Iceland and Greenland. I take great satisfaction in the recognition of this book since it is more personal than most any other I have written."
