Judges Comments:
In a state with many quality metro newspapers, The Dallas Morning News stands above the crowd. The paper consistently presents a sophisticated mix of top-notch breaking news coverage, detailed investigative reports and compelling storytelling. The newspaper has a strong sense of place, representing the community and engaging its readers with a clear, authoritative voice and personality. Combine all those attributes with great organization and striking presentation and the result is a rich reward for readers. The papers included in this entry included solid news coverage of a winter storm, smart coverage in sports of the NBA All-Star game and the start of the Rangers' baseball season, hard-hitting investigations on elder abuse in veterans nursing homes, Medicare billing fraud at a local hospital, and the lack of fire alarms in portable school classrooms. The editors effectively balance these watchdog reports with nice narrative storytelling, ranging from the Page One story on the aftermath of multiple arsons of East Texas churches to the Sunday Points section, chockfull of engaging content. Section-by-section there are gems that make the Dallas Morning News the clear Newspaper of the Year.
