June 11, 2004 Dear Florida Journalist: Another year and another explosive contest that kept four out-of-state judges busy for 21/2 days. Whether they were reading about the Fulf of Mexico, broken bridges, malpractice woes, foster care, Sex in the City or 13-year-olds, the judges comments were universally complimentary: Awesome. This is some of the best work I've seen. An incredible package. I wonder who came up with that great idea? Similar comments were overheard while they were judging the many strong entries in photography, graphics, illustrations and editorial cartoons. Beyond the packages and enterprise stories, the judges were treated to many accounts of one of the biggest news stories of the year — the breakup of the shuttle Columbia over Texas. True to form, Florida journalists stepped up and batted 1,000 in their coverage. This year's judges worked hard to get through the usual categories, as well as several new ones: Beat Reporting, Editorial Cartoons and Sports Special Sections. Entries were strong across the board, and the judges left having tasted the great journalism produced in the Sunshine State. This year's entries eclipsed the 1,135 in 2003. It's yet another testament to the ourstanding work being published in Florida newsrooms. Special thanks go out to our judges, contest co-chair Jeanne Grinstead of the St. Petersburg Times and Beth Coffey of The Tampa Tribune, who coordinated all the arrangements and made life easier for everyone. Please join us in congratulating the winners of the Florida Society of Newspaper Editors 2004 competition, who are presented here. We applaud all the winners and participants. |
