Excellence in Editorial Writing (Weekly) ( Class I)Back
Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: West Branch - West Branch Times Entry Title: Editorial writing Entry Credit: Gregory Norfleet Judge Comment: Nice, generally locally focused editorials, well-written on a variety of topics. And for the most part, they do a good job of recommending actions for issues they identify.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Hartley - The Hartley Sentinel-The Everly/Royal Ne Entry Title: Sentinel-News Editorial Entry Credit: Nicholas Pedley Judge Comment: This rating is for the three editorials headlined "Election and consequences," "Not exactly a good look" and "A novel idea and unlikely reality." Of the two entries by this writer, these three best exemplified an editorial approach that suggests solutions to issues and offers some local focus. The pieces are all very well-written and engaging, though they have a tendency to be more analytical than solution-focused.
