Coverage of Government and Politics ( Weekly Class 3)Back
Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Sheldon - The N'West Iowa Review Entry Title: Coverage of Government and Politics Entry Credit: Tom Lawrence, Elijah Helton, Randy Paulson Judge Comment: Well-told stories and multiple examples of focusing government reporting on the people affected rather than just what politicos have to say. I read the Steve King stories a couple times each. Good work on those.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Oskaloosa - The Oskaloosa Herald Entry Title: Oskaloosa Herald Entry Credit: Emily Hawk, Channing Rucks, Kyle Ocker Judge Comment: From the state Capitol to efforts to take over a local library, this entry does a nice job of clearly spelling out what's happening for readers on a range of topics. That's not always easy with government reporting.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Spirit Lake - Dickinson County News Entry Title: Coverage of Government and Politics - DCN Entry Credit: Staff Judge Comment: Good variety of coverage.
