In-depth or Investigative Reporting ( Non-Daily Group 1)Back
Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: The Cadet Entry Title: Does VMI care about the well-being of Cadets? - A Cadet investigation Entry Credit: Peyton Wiecking Judge Comment: I appreciated the transparency from The Cadet to explain to the reader what steps were taken to attempt to receive a response from the CCC. It is obvious a great deal of work went into compiling the responses. Strong comments from those who responded should be the focus and could come earlier in the story with less editorializing parts of the story. Overall, a pretty solid story.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: The Cadet Entry Title: Initial Voice of the Corps Survey Entry Credit: James Mansfield Judge Comment: I love the inclusion of graphics and results from the survey. It is clear to the reader The Cadet and those on staff took their information gathering seriously. Great work.
Competition Comment: Both entries illustrated great effort from The Cadet staff. Strong reviews were included from those with experience with the CCC. Those experiences led the story. Good work.
