  • Competition Comment: So much variety in coverage and platforms... but all of it was eye-opening and powerful on several levels. I am delighted to see a context category that highlights this specific "flavor" of coverage and look forward to the day when great news or feature coverage is just that... with no special categories. Bottom line: great reporting is great reporting, regardless of the topic.
