So I’m a reporter and I didn’t even post recent news about my own paper! Shame on me.
Law Week Colorado received 14 awards from the Society of Professional Journalists’ “Top of the Rockies” contest. A reception was given April 15, which was attended by reporters, editors, copy editors and photographers from around the state.
The contest accepted entries from papers of all circulation sizes in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. A link to the full story can be found here. We swept the legal categories in our circulation class, and my colleague Matt Masich received a first-place award in the arts-and-entertainment category for his story on the mural in the old state Supreme Court building. Our photographer Jamie Cotten also won awards for feature photography in “Home of the Brave” and for a multimedia tour of the new Denver Justice Center.
My winning entries were:
- First Place, legal feature reporting, “Home of the Brave.”
- Second Place, legal general reporting, “A Question of IQ.“
- Third Place, legal general reporting, “No Body, No Murder.“
- Third Place, legal enterprise/investigative reporting, “Cortez Controversy.“
Congrats to my colleagues, and to our editor Don Knox! We have a heck of a team.
