Love it.

Extensively reported and powerfully written. The narrative is clear, emotionally resonant, with extensive use of courtroom details, victim impact statements and official records. The reporter presents a compelling chronology without sensationalism, giving voice to the victim's family while maintaining high journalistic standards. The story demonstrates outstanding enterprise reporting and community relevance, with strong sourcing, accountability and context. Exceptional work.

This story packs an emotional punch. Heart-warming tale of near tragedy, told well with input from family. Sidebar story on Teddy's return home reflects writer and paper's commitment to following through on a feel-good story that no doubt brought tears throughout the community. Excellent work!

I wanted to hang some of the pages on my wall. Very artsy section, stories, ads and visuals all blended together in a seamless way, excellent work.
