It looks like my hometown newspaper, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, did pretty well for themselves at the 48th annual Katie Awards. What are the Katie Awards? This is how they are described on their own web site:
The Press Club of Dallas has awarded the coveted KATIE for 48 years to the best and brightest communicators in the Southwest. The annual competition is open to all professional communicators from the states of Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arkansas.
The KATIE competition is judged by teams of qualified journalists and professional communicators outside our six-state region.
The Star-Telegram won 14 awards when the Katies were given out last Saturday night, including the award for best major market newspaper. Their sister newspaper, the Spanish-language Diario La Estrella, also won two awards.
Congratulations guys! This is exactly why you are my first read every morning. I have been critical of the Star-Telegram at times in the past, but I do believe you are the best newspaper in our 6-state region. Keep up the great work!
