Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Richmond Times-Dispatch Entry Title: Evicted: Series on regional housing evictions amid COVID-19 Entry Credit: Mark Robinson Judge Comment: Comprehensive series on rental problems during pandemic. Good to see at least some discussion that not all landlords are terrible and that they deserve to be paid at some point. Good variety of voice from renters, landlords and civic officials.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: The Virginian-Pilot Entry Title: White work - Slavery to Salvation Entry Credit: Denise Watson Judge Comment: A powerful series on the Episcopal church -- especially its white members -- working through the tragic history of having owned enslaved people, and the impact today.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: The Roanoke Times Entry Title: Dickens Feature Series or Continuing Story Entry Credit: Tad Dickens Judge Comment: Great mix of stories about the pandemics impact on the live music industry. We naturally think of the musicians who were affected, but this series also looked at venues and others affiliated with the business, including producers and roadies.
