Now that Josh Marshall’s Talking Points Memo political blog has won a George Polk Award for legal reporting, can we please officially bury the tired old nonsense about blogging not being real journalism?
That’s fantastic news.
So, a story of mine that I didn’t really like (and that, as I recall, my editor didn’t really like either) just won a 2nd place sports feature award from the Kentucky Press Association.
Best part? I found out about it when my mother E-mailed me. Thanks, mom.
Of the many landmarks along a journalist’s career, two are among those that stand out: winning an award and making the government back down. Last week, Joshua Micah Marshall achieved both.
