This article explains about getting an award for journalism and the written media. When I read the article it seemed like the academy awards. The Times-Union and the St. Augustine Record took a total of eight awards. The Florida Times-Union was in the large circulation catagory and the St. Augustine Record in the medium circulation catagory. The competition was 27 newspapers in 14 states. A etched glass trophy and $500 was awarded to each winner. For the names and catagories Check out the article
Nancy Comments:
I think this is a great idea, to acknowledge those that have the ability to write good and interesting articles. I think maybe they could even do it twice a year. Maybe we could figure out and separate the trashy and sensationalizing jerks in this media. Sticking to the facts and writing responsibly, and yet making the story interesting enough to encourage the reader to keep reading. This is something that might encourage a good journalist to strive harder to do a better job.

no kidding... local newspapers don't get enough credit for wokring around the clock, providing every home with an address an inexpensive opportunity to view the world 1 hour per day. And the better we keep the facts and attention-grabbing, as nancy said, what better way than to reward them for doing so? And besides... $500 would be nice to buy an awesome party for some of the hard working journalists.
