The San Francisco Bay Area Publicity Club, a non-profit network of public relations professionals, has awarded its Herb Caen lifetime achievement award to the late cartoonist Phil Frank, author of the Chron’s Farley strip. Presentation of the award at Moose’s restaurant on Wednesday came two weeks to the day after Frank died from a brain tumor at age 64, the Chron reported.

The Publicity Club also presented 13 other awards ranging from favorite newscast — won by Brent Cannon and Laura Garcia Cannon of NBC11 — to favorite weekly e-mail newsletter, won by SFCityDish. SFGate.com won an award for the top media Web site.
