daily press honored for 'selling smoke'

​In the words of the Judge for the Virginia Press Association's annual awards selections, "The First Amendment privilege carries a heavy responsibility; the Daily Press has strong shoulders.” Those strong shoulders dug deeply into a black market cigarette sting operation that collected millions and paid for SUVs, trips and training, yet resulted in no arrests or charges filed. The investigative series, however, netted the Daily Press the 2012 VPA Award for Journalistic Integrity and Service.

put 400 away, seattle makes it your day

If you wondered what it takes to get the Seattle City Council to proclaim a day in your name, help put 400 violent offenders behind bars and see what happens. That's how KCPQ did it. Their 'Washington's Most Wanted' series, which also airs on JoeTV, CW32 in Portland, and three other stations in Washington state, was recently credited with its 400th capture assist. On April 22, the city said thanks by proclaiming it Washington's Most Wanted Day. Congratulations!

trib nation piles on for lean in

Among the many things you can do as part of the Chicago Tribune's ridiculously popular Trib Nation slate of events is attend rare Q&A; sessions with fascinating people in the news. As packed a house as these events create, the engagement doesn't stop at the closed door of a sold out room. When Facebook COO, Sheryl Sandberg, dropped in to talk about her new book, Trib Nation filled the house, and took the overflow online, rolling out a three-camera live-stream, peppering Twitter with the #TribNation hashtag and pulling together a Storify gallery sourced from attendees. You can see them all on the Trib Nation website.

17 nods for la times from poyi

​Of the six first place finishes the LA Times earned in this year's Pictures of the Year International competition, it's hard to pick which deserves the headline most. Best Website seems too obvious. Multimedia Photographer of the Year or Editing Portfolio - Newspaper would allow a name drop (congrats, Liz O. Baylen and Mary Cooney!). But Documentary Project of the Year, Issue Reporting Picture Story - Newspaper, and Series or Special Section all promote teamwork. Maybe we could just go with...
