Judge Comment:
Good use of real-life examples to illustrate an issue and show readers why they should care.
Competition Comment:
It is great to see local news outlets tackling national issues to explain their relevance to local audiences. It's easy to see a report about federal legislation on compensating news outlets or hear about injured migrant workers without thinking about how any of it might affect your life. These publications are ensuring that readers get good explanations about how the big issues affect them.
