Two out of three ain't bad


The Lebanon Reporter won three awards in its division of the Indiana Associated Press Managing Editors competition last night. And I won two of them.

To be fair, Sports Editor Will Willems won a first place for Best Spot News Sports Story.

My retelling of Daphne Cavin's story of love and loss in World War II took third place in the Best Feature Writing contest and my photo of Lori Schein winning the Republican nomination for judge won second place in the Best Spot News Photo competition.

It's the first time I ever won anything in a serious photojournalism contest with a photo shot with a smartphone. That would probably shock a few people if they knew.
