Public Issues 2019

Gold

Adirondack Life, “There Goes the Neighborhood” by Luke Cyphers

Great story. I was totally unaware of this angle.

 Silver

Mountain Home, “The Piano Man’s War” by Alison Fromme

This piece deserves high marks. It’s clearly written, well researched and doesn’t drift around.

Bronze

Texas Highways, “Travel with Purpose” by Melissa Gaskill

I like the way this piece was packaged and it reflects a lot of reporting.
