(New York Daily News owner Mort Zuckerman addresses attendees)
The Public Relations Society of America's New York chapter held their 21st annual Big Apple Awards last night at the Rainbow Room in Manhattan.
mediabistro.com and FishbowlNY associate editor Noah Davis was on hand, and wrote in a recap post today, "Zuckerman, who plugged the Daily News as the only paper to support Mayor Bloomberg during his first election bid and asked the audience to buy a subscription, began his keynote address with a joke: 'Howard Rubinstein asked me if I believed in the Constitution. I said yes. He asked me if I believed in free speech. I said yes. He said, 'Good, cuz you're gonna give one.'"
The complete list of winners, after the jump.
