Comments from the Judges:

“Well-balanced with good characters and good information. … The two stories related to Oyler are different in nature but both well done. The follow-up profile of Raven (Gribbins), whom Amy Scott had followed the previous year, is really well done. We feel as if we know her by the end of the piece. … All in all, this is valuable reporting.”
