They were short, succinct, creative and had funny plays-on-words. Plus, they matched well with the page design, which is always a plus. I do believe there must be some mix-up with one of the submissions, as one of them is missing, but even still, the five that were entered is enough to demonstrate this headline writer's quality and wit. | Mark | Price | Mark J.

36 | Akron Beacon Journal/Ohio.com | PRINT LG: (75,000+ circ.) | Best Human Interest Writing | First Place | Reformed tattoo artist | While there weren't many entries in this category, all of them were well-done, and it was difficult to pick a winner. Thus, as I'm only allowed to submit comments on the first-place winner, I feel compelled to give feedback on all the stories and some reasoning on why I chose the ones I did. The giraffe plasma donation story: A very unusual subject matter. It's not everyday you get to follow around giraffes for an assignment. However, this entry was at a disadvantage because of its length and style. It reads more like a newspaper story (which, I mean, it is); whereas the longer pieces felt more magazine-style and benefited from a longer length. I felt this piece, while a good read, didn't have the vibrancy and richness that the other pieces did. The shoe repair workers: I think this story had a lot of potential, and included some really good quotes and details. However, I think the story would've been stronger if it had focused equally on both men, which is what the lede was hinting at. How are they similar? How do they communicate? Why did the store owner feel that the Syrian man was so similar to him? I would've liked to have heard more about their friendship, which the story touches on but doesn't dive into as deeply as it could've. SECOND PLACE: Abuse survivor working for church: It was hard to decide second place between this and the shoe repairmen. This one was longer but told its story more compellingly while the other one was shorter but wasn't quite as detailed. Still, I felt that this entry's length was both its greatest strength and its greatest weakness. It's obvious that the reporter(s) spent a lot of time with this man, hearing different facets of his story, his life, his faith, etc. But, the story itself was far longer than any of the other entries and I had to step away a few times to take breaks from reading it. Granted, this is all heavy subject matter, so it's appropriate for the story to be long; and with six months' worth of material, I don't expect it to be 700 words. In any case, I do feel like, by the time I got to the end, I knew this man's life story. His struggles, his triumphs, his pursuits, his insecurities. That's what a good piece does -- it gives the readers a glimpse into a person: who they are, what they do, how they live. FIRST PLACE: Tattoo artist helps breast cancer survivor: Finally, we get to the actual first-place winner and comments on their story. This entry was unique, well-crafted, and read a lot faster than I thought it would. It was well balanced between the tattoo artist's past and the survivor's present, and the strange connection they've now formed. It would've been easy to make the story about the survivor alone, and her struggle to find some normality and security in her situation, but also focusing on the tattoo artist's journey and the fact that this man she's worked with for 11+ hours never shared much of his story with her... those are the kinds of details that make a story stand out for the readers. I felt like I got to know both of the people in the story in a rich, detailed but succinct way. Well done! | Amanda | Garrett | Amanda Garrett, Akron Beacon Journal/Ohio.com | ||||||||||||||||||

69 | Cleveland Magazine | PRINT SM: (<75,000 circ.) | Best Explanatory Journalism | First Place | Our Epidemic | This is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand one of the gravest health crises this nation has ever faced. It makes no assumptions; this journalism carefully explains the origin of the opioid epidemic, what it consists of, and who's behind it -- past and current conventional wisdom in the U.S. about pain management; Mexican cartels; internet shipments from China. Step by patient step, it layers its presentation with the experiences of the addicted, the first responders, the treatment professionals, the survivors. Its data analysis drives home the point that this emergency impacts everyone; no one, regardless of race, class or any other conceivable distinguishing factor, is immune or isolated from the epidemic. And it explains several potential options for that first step from addiction. This demonstrates that the highest standards of journalism in the public interest are alive and well. | Cleveland Magazine | Staff | Cleveland Magazine Staff | ||||||||||||||||||
