- Judges' Comments
For the judges it came down to comparisons between the entries that edited a selection of strong daily coverage versus special editions of sections that reviewed the disaster in some time frame or form.
The Evansville Courier & Press submitted three sections of coverage related to the November tornado disaster in their community. The three did a good job of showing the structural devastation, and the paper is applauded for their use of family photos to highlight the obituaries. One cannot underestimate just how important that is to our readers. The section entitled “Devastation” was pulled out as best of the three because it actually succeeded in showing the emotion of the event.
