these articles. Somewhat light on really
explaining the details of the subject of
each piece, but still solid work.
Third Award: The Valders Journal:
“Good manufacturing jobs...Economy

Bank switch,” - Todd Bergmann: Good
choices on how to structure the articles.
Fell a bit short on strength of analysis,
but were still informative pieces.
Group F
First Award: The Oregon Observer: Bill
Livick: The feature on Headquarters
Bar showed a depth of investigation
and knowledge of both the subject and
local business climate. Great historical
perspective provided on the Community
Bank. Nice, multi-sourced reporting
on the printing business. Solid
business coverage. Clear, lively writing.
Second Award: Jackson County
Chronicle, Black River Falls: “Dairy
goat co-op expanding its operation
in Mt. Sterling; Turning apple wood
into smoke; Local farmers forced to
contend with cool, wet planting conditions;
Event features aronia as crop”
- Cassandra Colson: Great localization
of the federal shutdown. The glimpse
into a local farm’s switch to dairy milking
machines makes the stakes clearer
than just talking dry statistics, etc.; a
good explainer. Strong writing.
Third Award: Crawford County Independent
& The Kickapoo Scout: Charley
Preusser: Extensive work on the
orchard story. I liked the story about
businesses popping up in repurposed
spaces on Main Street. Decent ledes;
hard work on display.
