Not law but - "JG editorial staff ‘best in show'"
From today's Fort Wayne Journal Gazette:
The Journal Gazette’s editorial page staff won first place last week in the Editorial Excellence Contest sponsored by the University of Kansas on behalf of the Inland Daily Press Association.Well deserved, IMHO.Editorial page editor Tracy Warner and editorial writers Karen Francisco and Stacey Stumpf competed against newspapers with circulations of more than 25,001 and also won the Sweepstakes. That means their editorials were the best in show in all categories. * * *
The judges wrote: “The Journal Gazette’s editorials were hard-biting and clearly the product of a watchdog newspaper that holds government accountable to serve the public good. Each of the five pieces submitted had a strong focus, made well-supported arguments, and presented a logical and practical proposal for action. As importantly, they were written with flair. Praise to the editors for imbuing the tone and turn of phrase that evokes images of a neighbor who is thoughtful and skeptical, rather than knee-jerk and strident.”
