And the best Texas newspaper is...
The Texas Associated Press Managing Editors held its annual meeting last weekend and handed out some awards:
The Houston Chronicle won six top honors at the Texas Associated Press Managing Editors' annual meeting over the weekend, including the Headliners Excellence in Journalism Award for its coverage of the Enron verdict.
The coverage included a special edition the day of the verdict, May 25, and extensive coverage in the next day's paper by Mary Flood, Mark Babineck, David Ivanovich, Lynn Cook, Shannon Buggs, Betty Martin, Clifford Pugh and others. The entry also won the breaking-news category among the state's largest papers.
Also winning top honors from APME was the Chronicle's Amy Biancolli, who was recognized in the comment-and-criticism category for two movie reviews and a commentary on movie ratings.
Science writer Eric Berger was honored by APME for best blog, and artists Alberto Cuadra, Ken Ellis, Robert Dibrell and Jay Carr for best infographics for their "Racing Around Reliant Park," a graphic explaining and illustrating the Houston Grand Prix.
Unfortunately for our beloved Chron, top newspaper honors, both print and online, went to the Dallas Morning News. That's a shame because the Chron has some very talented folks on staff, doing fine work; but the Chron's poor editorial leadership tends to overshadow the good.
If there was ever a town just begging for a quality daily paper...
