Congrats to Tony Jones for his first-place. :)

Gary Shelton #1? Really? He makes me wish Hubert Mizell hadn't retired.

 

[Editude]

Friend of mine pulled off a nice victory in a lower-circulation category. Congrats.

 

[Cousin Jeffrey]

Congrats to everyone on the list. How about Michael S. Schmidt only getting fifth in investigative. He's been mentioned in Pulitzer talk, hasn't he, for his NFL concussion stories?

Yeah, never been a big Shelton fan myself.

By my count, this makes two first-place finishes for Gary Shelton in the column category. I don't think that's a coincidence, a fluke or an anomaly. Reporting, point of view, style, humor -- check, check, check, check.

This (oh, I love saying that!)

Gary is one hell of a good guy, too.

Cousin: Alan Schwarz did the NY Times concussion stories. Schmidt is very good, though.

Bergen Record pulled off rare 1-2 in 100-250K columns with Ian O'Connor and Bob Klapisch....Good to see Dan Wetzel all over the place in the higher circ.

I really hope all those people still have their jobs. And still have them (or better ones) this time next year.

I'll agree he's a great guy. Congratulations, Gary.

You can count me as a fan of Gary Shelton's. Was always a strong reporter and he brought that mindset to the column. I know Sally Jenkins finished well in a couple of categories but there is not a word she writes that I won't read. I love her attitude and think she got too little love here.

Ah my mistake. Schmidt is doing the steroid/PED stuff.

 

[Neil Amato]

I don't visit here as much as I used to, so correct me if I missed a thread. But I found it hard to believe that little if anything was said about the top 10, and then the winner, in the all-circ size investigative category.
No. 1 is not one of the big papers; it's not one of the Web sites.
Major props to Rachel George for her work and to the editors and others in Wilmington who helped make it possible.

Not a scratch for the AJC? 2-3 years ago that would have been unfathomable.

 

[Fran Curci]

Did Austin, Texas, get a call?
