General excellence for features
The nation's most prestigious journalism award for features and lifestyle reporting is the Missouri Lifestyle Journalism Awards. (I don't know how it became the most prestigious. It just has been for the 30-plus years I've been in the business.)
So, I am delighted that our Life section won first place in general excellence this year.
Judges comments:
The News & Record entertains and informs in its lifestyle section. From the significant story about the church members who moved into a neighborhood to be better able to serve their neighbors to a story about online gamers, the content is reported and written well. The photographs are excellent, and the design reaches out to readers by using impact and organization. The content is largely local, and it is supplemented by local columnists.
Winners in other circulation categories included the Washington Post and the Kansas City Star. Nice company.
Congratulations to features editor Susan Ladd, assistant editor Mike Kernels, day desk chief Kim Stacks Mills and their staffs.
