APSE results

Of what???

38 papers?

Damn, that is awful.

 

There's nothing better than to see papers celebrate being honored for ranking in the top half of what they do. Getting an APSE honorable mention in the top group is like graduating in the top 55 percent of your class. Hey, congrats. Keep up the good work, newspapers!

 

Take that C- and D students!

 

Better than the alternative.

 

We joked about putting it out on the front page last night after getting some section wins, but ultimately we had nothing this morning. Not sure if there will be something about it eventually, but I don't think so.

 

I would give anything for the APSE judges to have ranked the big papers 1-38.

 

Yeah, don't assume anything. I'm in the same boat as Waylon this year, having placed in a category I didn't think was my strongest while some of my "better" work was shut out. And we didn't have anyone in Vegas.

Maybe your boss was very vague about what he judged that year because half the time he was wasted in a casino.

 

Congrats to all the SportsJournalists.com winners!!!

 

No outing!

 

Sorry if my pointing them out came off as snotty-sounding. The list was posted after your post. I should have pointed that out.

 

Congrats to David Ubben of the Columbia Missourian. He was listed in Explanatory Writing in U 40,000. Considering he's a college kid going up against pros, let's give him the SportsJournalists.com Rookie Of The Year.

Also, being a top 10 secition in the biggest category is like being the world's tallest midget. Dallas Morning News effing sucks and it made the top 10. A weak field of competition.

 

When somebody from Scripps shows up to accept the RMN's awards, I hope they're booed by the SEs in attendance.

I'd do it myself, but there ain't no way my company is paying for a convention this year. And as much as I love Pittsburgh, I'm not paying my own freight for it either.
