APSE Awards

4 triple crown winners in 175K-Above:
Congrats to: Boston Globe, Denver Post, Kansas City Star, New York Times.

 

OS/SS can't be surprised though. Mentioned this on another thread, but the most recent Sun Sentinel I saw had more bylines from the LAT's Sam Farmer than any staff writer. It had no local feel.
Lump AJC into that disappointing show group as well.

 

Big fucking ups to Tim Hayes (30-75K feature). One of the many hard-working people I know in this business.

The top eight... Probably out of eight...

 

You won't get an award when you are taking modules from Chicago and using templates throughout the section. Plus the non-local teams' travel budgets are just about zero.

 

Yep, just sad to see.

@ Mizzou grad ... I believe there were many more entries in the Under 15,000 category than in the Over 175,000. Please get your facts straight before commenting.
