The winners of this year’s National Awards for Education Reporting are out.

I took first place in the Opinion Writing category for a collection of my columns for The News. And if I may brag, this would be the second year in a row I win first place.

I also won a “special citation” (meaning: “third place”) in the Beat Reporting category for a random bundling of my stories. I won first place in this category two years ago, then got skunked last year. I had my fingers crossed for a win, but Daniel Golden and Rosalind Rossi (the two who beat me) are quite the journalists themselves.

Mad props to my DMN colleagues who also scored wins: Kent Fischer, Molly Motley Blythe, Tawnell Hobbs and Pete Slover got a special citation in investigation reporting for their great DISD spending stories over the past year. And Rodger Jones, Jim Mitchell and Mike Hashimoto got a special citation in opinion writing for their editorials on my cheating stories.
