Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Cardinal News Entry Title: Lisa Rowan education writing Entry Credit: Lisa Rowan Judge Comment: Excellent in-depth story on issues facing community colleges. The depth of the reporting on all stories added context that made each easy to read and understand. Tough contest to narrow to 3 places....
Competition Comment: Tough class to judge! I changed my mind more than once. If I judged again tomorrow the results may change, it was that hard to narrow to three.
