Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Kent-Ravenna Record-Courier Entry Title: Jeff Saunders Entry Credit: Jeff Saunders Judge Comment: Nice mix of the different types of news stories that a journalist covers in the course of a year. As many stories as i have written about catalytic converter theft, I learned some things from this story. The story about the six year old boy was the right mix of straight facts and emotion. Overall, a great package of news stories that all told the reader a bit more than the basics.
