NY1 staffers were on hand to receive a slate of awards from the New York Press Club Monday night. 

The award winners were announced on May 10 and presented at the Press Club's awards dinner Monday in Manhattan.

John Schiumo, Reena Diamante, Natasha Alagarasan and Kimberly Ammiano received the Rev. Mychal Judge Heart of New York: Broadcast/TV award for the "New Yorker of the Year Special."  It marks the third year in a row that the news channel has won the Mychal Judge award. 

Tara Lynn Wagner and Tak Inagaki won for Best Feature Reporting: Broadcast/TV for their "Trending in Tokyo" series.

Josh Robin won Best Political Coverage: Broadcast/TV for his "Scandal's Root" series.

NY1 was awarded Best Feature Reporting in the area of Science, Medicine and Technology: Broadcast/TV for its "Colon Cancer Awareness" series.

Zack Tawatari won Best Sports News: Broadcast/TV for his "Tommy John: Career Saves Leader" series.

And the NY1 staff won Best Spot News: Broadcast/TV for its coverage of "The Death of Mario Cuomo," taking home the Spot News TV award for the fifth year in a row.

The awards come two days after NY1's Courtney Gross won the Associated Press' inaugural First Amendment Award for her effort to gain access to police body camera footage from the NYPD.

NY1 took the department to court after it denied the news channel's Freedom of Information Law request.
