Harrison Skip Weber Investigative Reporting Awards ( Class V)Back
Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Cedar Rapids - The Gazette Entry Title: Criminal records increasingly forgiven in hiring Iowa officers Entry Credit: Emily Andersen Judge Comment: Each of the entries in this category make a strong case for recognition by this award. This one, by the Gazette, rises to the top because of the importance of the story to broad segment of the community, the scope of investigation, and the difficulty with peeling back the layers to such a sensitive story. This investigative effort served a great community service and was well worth the resources devoted to it.
