His work has been cited in undergraduate and Ph.D research, featured in publications presented in multiple languages, and highlighted on a true crime series now available on Max, the HBO streaming service. He has received first-place awards from the Michigan Press Association in categories including Spot News Story, News Enterprise Reporting, Features Reporting and Best Community Engagement. \n\nA Saginaw native who graduated from Arthur Hill High School in 1997 and Saginaw Valley State University in 2005, Engel was raised a Saginaw News reader. As young as the age of 15, he aspired to join the company, and achieved that goal when he was hired as a 24-year-old reporter on Jan. 5, 2004. His work bridges the era of The Saginaw News producing daily print editions and the company's development into part of MLive Media Group's digital publication network.","fuzzy_match":false,"author_type":"staff","firstName":"Justin","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[{"name":" First place, “Spot News Story,” issued by Michigan Press Association, March 2022"},{"name":" First place, “News enterprise reporting,” issued by Michigan Press Association, January 2013"},{"name":" First place, “Best community engagement award,” issued by Michigan Associated Press Editorial Association, January 2011"},{"name":" First place, “Features reporting,” issued by Michigan Associated Press Editorial Association, January 2008"},{"name":"College Journalist of the Year, issued by Michigan Press Association, January 2003"},{"name":"College Journalist of the Year, issued by Michigan Press Association, January 2002"},{"name":"College Journalist of the Year, issued by Michigan Press Association, January 2001"},{"name":"College Journalist of the Year, issued by Michigan Press Association, January 2000"}],"_id":"jengel","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":""}]},"subtype":"article","first_publish_date":"2025-02-14T18:30:00Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":false,"publish_date":"2025-02-14T18:30:00.000Z","has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2025-02-14T18:30:22.818Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"workflow":{"note":"","status_code":1},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"copyright":"Kaytie Boomer | MLive.com","address":{},"auth":{"1":"5d6402a65c03c5b3ce8a2f0465d92d867fe119613cdd00693a6ac69682fe8402"},"caption":"A view of the Saginaw Art Museum on Monday, Feb. 14, 2022 in Saginaw.

His work has been cited in undergraduate and Ph.D research, featured in publications presented in multiple languages, and highlighted on a true crime series now available on Max, the HBO streaming service. He has received first-place awards from the Michigan Press Association in categories including Spot News Story, News Enterprise Reporting, Features Reporting and Best Community Engagement. \n\nA Saginaw native who graduated from Arthur Hill High School in 1997 and Saginaw Valley State University in 2005, Engel was raised a Saginaw News reader. As young as the age of 15, he aspired to join the company, and achieved that goal when he was hired as a 24-year-old reporter on Jan. 5, 2004. His work bridges the era of The Saginaw News producing daily print editions and the company's development into part of MLive Media Group's digital publication network.","fuzzy_match":false,"author_type":"staff","firstName":"Justin","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[{"name":" First place, “Spot News Story,” issued by Michigan Press Association, March 2022"},{"name":" First place, “News enterprise reporting,” issued by Michigan Press Association, January 2013"},{"name":" First place, “Best community engagement award,” issued by Michigan Associated Press Editorial Association, January 2011"},{"name":" First place, “Features reporting,” issued by Michigan Associated Press Editorial Association, January 2008"},{"name":"College Journalist of the Year, issued by Michigan Press Association, January 2003"},{"name":"College Journalist of the Year, issued by Michigan Press Association, January 2002"},{"name":"College Journalist of the Year, issued by Michigan Press Association, January 2001"},{"name":"College Journalist of the Year, issued by Michigan Press Association, January 2000"}],"_id":"jengel","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":""}]},"subtype":"article","first_publish_date":"2025-02-14T15:30:00Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":false,"publish_date":"2025-02-14T15:30:00.000Z","has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2025-02-14T15:30:21.845Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"workflow":{"note":"","status_code":1},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"copyright":"MLive.com The Flint Journal Nico Mendoza","address":{"locality":"Mount Pleasant","region":"Michigan"},"auth":{"1":"1b99ab0cf1fbb4638728625eb1c48c033ad9a8a5e7c04f65799f0575b56b81dc"},"caption":"CMU freshman Izzy Taylor from Cheboygan moves into her room, Tuesday, August 20, 2024, Central Michigan University, Mount Pleasant, MI.

His work has been cited in undergraduate and Ph.D research, featured in publications presented in multiple languages, and highlighted on a true crime series now available on Max, the HBO streaming service. He has received first-place awards from the Michigan Press Association in categories including Spot News Story, News Enterprise Reporting, Features Reporting and Best Community Engagement. \n\nA Saginaw native who graduated from Arthur Hill High School in 1997 and Saginaw Valley State University in 2005, Engel was raised a Saginaw News reader. As young as the age of 15, he aspired to join the company, and achieved that goal when he was hired as a 24-year-old reporter on Jan. 5, 2004. His work bridges the era of The Saginaw News producing daily print editions and the company's development into part of MLive Media Group's digital publication network.","fuzzy_match":false,"author_type":"staff","firstName":"Justin","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[{"name":" First place, “Spot News Story,” issued by Michigan Press Association, March 2022"},{"name":" First place, “News enterprise reporting,” issued by Michigan Press Association, January 2013"},{"name":" First place, “Best community engagement award,” issued by Michigan Associated Press Editorial Association, January 2011"},{"name":" First place, “Features reporting,” issued by Michigan Associated Press Editorial Association, January 2008"},{"name":"College Journalist of the Year, issued by Michigan Press Association, January 2003"},{"name":"College Journalist of the Year, issued by Michigan Press Association, January 2002"},{"name":"College Journalist of the Year, issued by Michigan Press Association, January 2001"},{"name":"College Journalist of the Year, issued by Michigan Press Association, January 2000"}],"_id":"jengel","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":""}]},"subtype":"article","first_publish_date":"2025-02-14T14:00:00Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":false,"publish_date":"2025-02-14T14:00:00.000Z","has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2025-02-14T14:00:25.452Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"workflow":{"note":"","status_code":1},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"copyright":"Kaytie Boomer | MLive.com","address":{},"auth":{"1":"175ae4d149a2382d659d4e7e86cbc17c2606b6d051c105fdcbc09634ba6bd696"},"caption":"Students wait in a collaboration space during the first day of school at Saginaw United High School on Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2024.

May, who attended Central Michigan University, has been committed to telling community stories in his backyard since 2003. He was honored as a 2017 Pulitzer Prize Finalist in Feature Photography. May was named Small Market Photographer of the Year in the National Press Photographers Association’s Best of Photojournalism three times in the last five years, as well as an honorable mention in the Cliff Edom New America Award in 2022.\n\nHe has also been recognized with two special citations from the NPPA for his work on the Flint water crisis and his leadership in the industry. May has been named the Michigan Press Photographers Association's Photographer of the Year five times and the coveted Barry Edmonds Michigan Understanding Award five times as well, which was established to recognize and honor photographers work that best portrays the common purpose of man while exploring human relationships, friendship and concern for the environment, a lifting hope for peace.\n\nMay has also won four SPJ Sigma Delta Chi awards for various works, including a portrait series of isolation in COVID-19, continued water crisis coverage and coverage of four tornadoes that ravaged Genesee County.\n\nHe is an alumnus of the Eddie Adams, and mentors photojournalists at The Mountain Workshops in Kentucky.
