APSE judging is under way in Indianapolis ...

Did the AJC really get shut out? Or did it not enter?

 

I'm wondering that myself. Granted, the AJC is nowhere near what it used to be, but it's not chopped liver or birdcage lining.

APSE Grand Slam winners were just posted (Sunday, daily, special, web)... don't know if it's just for the 75-175K category but Oklahoman took the crown. Well deserved.

Triple Crown winners were:

Buffalo News
Louisville Courier-Journal
Omaha World-Herald

 

Here's the APSE release with full results: http://apsportseditors.org/newsletter/2013-apse-contest-all-results/.

Triple Crown winners:

 

Remember when this annual thread used to get close to a 100 comments, many backslaps and criticisms, and several thousand page views? Another sign of the times.

 

Any thrill was matched by realizing that we've dropped below 75K. Not particularly surprising, just sobering.

 

Full results …

INDIANAPOLIS _ Seven media groups won "Grand Slam" honors in the annual Associated Press Sports Editors' writing and sections contest that ended Wednesday.
