37 | Metro Louisville | Best Kentucky Derby Story | Second Place | The Courier Journal / courierjournal.com | The Curse of the Apollo looms over two Kentucky Derby 2018 contenders.

45 | Metro Louisville | Best Use of Data | First Place | WDRB | Chris Otts on Airbnb fines, Google Fiber permits, UL attendance | Chris Otts | Data used in investigative reporting to fact-check what officials are telling the public. The article that especially caught this judge's eye was the comparison of census data and right-of-way permits to show that Google was laying fiber in high-income neighborhoods, not closing the "digital divide" as promised by city officials. Good work! | |||||||||||
46 | Metro Louisville | Best Use of Data | Second Place | Louisville Business First | Public company data reporting | David Mann | Analysis of more than 3,000 public companies that highlighted consistent gender disparities among companies, with the largest companies having the competitive advantage in recruiting women from a limited pool of candidates. Great use of data to compare the issue from every angle, and wonderful use of graphics to boot. | |||||||||||
47 | Metro Louisville | Best Use of Data | Third Place | The Courier Journal / courierjournal.com | Millennial workers choosing Austin, Nashville and Raleigh over Louisville | Alfred Miller | Great use of census data to track millennials' exodus from Louisville.

49 | Metro Louisville | Best Video (Non-Broadcast) | Second Place | Courier Journal | Marshall Strong | Matt Stone | Good technical skills displayed. A compelling and heart wrenching story told in a humanizing way. | |||||||||||
50 | Metro Louisville | Best Video (Non-Broadcast) | Third Place | Courier Journal | Lessons of Addiction | Nikki Boliaux | Good technical skills displayed. The story line gets a little vague at times, and slows which loses viewer engagement. Their is a solid conclusion though which pulls it all together. | |||||||||||
51 | Metro Louisville | Business/Technology Reporting | First Place | WDRB | Chris Otts on Brown-Forman, Humana and Wall Street landlords | Chris Otts | I was impressed with the range of subjects, the clear and engaging writing on sometimes complex subjects and the human element that made the stories especially compelling. Numbers were central to each story but made easy to understand and digest. | |||||||||||
52 | Metro Louisville | Business/Technology Reporting | Second Place | The Courier Journal / courierjournal.com | GE downward spiral; Indiana Casino Boat; and Kentucky dairy farmers | Grace Schneider | Strong runnerup. I especially liked how the writer connected market and economic forces with the lives of real people in the GE and milk stories. | |||||||||||
53 | Metro Louisville | Business/Technology Reporting | Third Place | TechRepublic | Olivia Krauth | Olivia Krauth | ||||||||||||
54 | Metro Louisville | Column Writing | First Place | WDRB | Eric Crawford | Eric Crawford | This writer has nailed the two essentials to successful columns: Great writing and compelling subjects. A powerful love story told in two parts brought tears to my eyes. And a memorial story about a forgotten World War I veteran was created with both historical knowledge and creative imagination. Bravo. | |||||||||||
55 | Metro Louisville | Column Writing | Second Place | The Courier Journal / courierjournal.com | Moral monsters; public shootings; and Colin Kaepernick | Ricky L. Jones | This writer dives into important topics where others fear to go. His knowledge of the present and the past, of literature and sports, and many other subjects gives us a big picture woven out of many small details. All told with compelling writing that is direct and precise. | |||||||||||
56 | Metro Louisville | Column Writing | Third Place | The Courier Journal / courierjournal.com | Louisville buses; Bird scooters; and Portland writing clinic | Maggie Menderski | This writer loves adventure and exploration in everyday life and takes us along for the journey. Good fun, even when the bus isn't moving. | |||||||||||
57 | Metro Louisville | Continuing Coverage | First Place | The Courier Journal / courierjournal.com | Marshall County School Shooting | Darcy Costello, Justin Sayers and Andrew Wolfson | Great continuing coverage of high school shooting tragedy. From a father recognizing victim from the Nike socks he wore to a student thinking gunshot was a balloon popping and to the alleged shooter saying he was just doing an experiment. | |||||||||||
58 | Metro Louisville | Continuing Coverage | Second Place | WDRB | Open records reveal details of U of L scandal | Jason Riley, Marcus Green and Travis Ragsdale | Good use of documents to uncover more connections and keep the story in the public eye in the sex scandal that cost Louisville's basketball team a national championship | |||||||||||
59 | Metro Louisville | Continuing Coverage | Third Place | WDRB | RiverLink | Marcus Green | Interesting set of stories on the RiverLink bridge tolls reducing traffic across the Ohio River and incorrect bills being sent to drivers. Good followup | |||||||||||
60 | Metro Louisville | Crime/Courts/Criminal Justice Reporting | First Place | The Courier Journal / courierjournal.com | Kemari Averett | Justin Sayers | Solid reporting on the criminal allegations against a Louisville football player, including an interview with the player who professed innocence. Good followup on this story. | |||||||||||
61 | Metro Louisville | Crime/Courts/Criminal Justice Reporting | Second Place | WDRB | Jason Riley | Jason Riley | Kentucky State Police seem to have a problem with releasing public information, even evidence to a mother searching for answers in the apparent abduction of her daughter. And Jason Riley reminds the public of KSP's intractableness. The third story outlines the mess left by a murder co-defendant cutting a plea deal and informing about the case, but lying. Riley lets the public know how its law enforcement authorities are working, or rather not working. | |||||||||||
62 | Metro Louisville | Editorial Cartoons | First Place | The Courier Journal / courierjournal.com | Marc Murphy Editorial Cartoons | Marc Murphy | Marc Murphy was the only entrant in this category — but even so, his skills as a visual artist and editorial wit are evident. He's surely an asset to his paper. | |||||||||||
63 | Metro Louisville | Editorial Writing | First Place | The Courier Journal / courierjournal.com | Women's equality; Kentucky Republicans; and Mitch McConnell | Veda Morgan | These editorials were well-written and compellingly reasoned, so certainly deserve kudos. Still, it's lamentable that this category doesn't have more competition. | |||||||||||
64 | Metro Louisville | Education Reporting | First Place | The Courier Journal / courierjournal.com | JCPS Elementary Suspensions Spike | Mandy McLaren and Allison Ross | A solid piece of education reporting. The writers examination of the topic of elementary school suspensions is translated into easy-to-digest numbers and concepts but also adds perspective to the issue. Some of the other submissions in this category addressed much wider-reaching looks at suspensions overall, but by narrowing down into a much smaller group of students, with, some of the interviews argue, less of a reason to deal with suspensions, the feature allows the reader a better look at suspensions in general without getting bogged down by the politics and education-speak of less targeted topics. Well done. | |||||||||||
65 | Metro Louisville | Education Reporting | Second Place | WDRB | Kevin Wheatley | Kevin Wheatley | The writer certainly shows depth and an understanding of education issues during what appears to be a contentious time, especially for Jefferson County. While the information is well told and the range of interviews and data are well-researched, there were moments when the story lines could get a bit weighed down by too many viewpoints without perspective. But overall, well done. | |||||||||||
66 | Metro Louisville | Education Reporting | Third Place | Insider Louisville | Olivia Krauth | Olivia Krauth | While well researched and reported, at times these articles seemed written specifically for those who already had a running knowledge of the education system and issues in Louisville, making it challenging for a new reader to catch up with the terminology and history. | |||||||||||
67 | Metro Louisville | Enterprise/Investigative Reporting | First Place | Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting | Fatal Flaws: How Kentucky Is Failing Its Workers | Eleanor Klibanoff, Jeff Young and Alexandra Kanik | This entry puts a human face on the dry OSHA parlance of workplace incidences and worker fatalities. Digging through the data and re-investigating a government agency's work earns kudos. Nicely done! | |||||||||||
68 | Metro Louisville | Enterprise/Investigative Reporting | Second Place | WDRB | Chris Otts investigations into real estate deals, Humana executive pay | Chris Otts | Solid financial reporting, showing how money and power coalesce to impact the little guy. | |||||||||||

70 | Metro Louisville | Feature Photography | First Place | The Courier Journal / courierjournal.com | A moon rises | Michael Clevenger | Great shot, unique composition, and lucky timing. Personally would have liked to see the moon a few degrees higher for it to hit that "10" territory. | |||||||||||
71 | Metro Louisville | Feature Photography | Second Place | Louisville Business First | KICC opening | Chris Fryer | Great timing, good sense of perspective in a setting with very little in the way of details to aid in composition. | |||||||||||
72 | Metro Louisville | Feature Photography | Third Place | The Courier Journal | Icy Morning | Michael Clevenger | Great shot, good timing for light. | |||||||||||
73 | Metro Louisville | Feature Writing | First Place | Courier Journal \ courierjournal.com | Kroger shooting: Chaos, heroism and the search for a scared young boy | Chris Kenning and Thomas Novelly | Masterful use of 911 calls, personal stories and timeline to relate a terrible crime in a most personal way. The writer captures the reader's attention from the first sentence, as we connect with a loving grandfather and his grandson in the banal moments before a horrifying event. The story is very well-paced—taking us moment by moment, in real time, through those hours and the hunt for a missing teenage survivor while masterfully weaving in the backstories of the victims and witnesses involved and engages the reader all the way until the end. A extremely effective way to tell another side of this front-page story a few days after it occurred. | |||||||||||
74 | Metro Louisville | Feature Writing | Second Place | The Courier Journal / courierjournal.com | Brown Hotel; Mr. Christmas; and Copper & Kings | Maggie Menderski | The writer of these three features has a very nice touch for storytelling. The facts and figures are nicely woven through the narrative without feeling forced. What really makes these features are the attention to detail present within each moment; from the shorts-clad electrical worker to the marble-slab at the Brown Hotel and the audio of the teenage opera singer playing at the bartending class. Each proved to be an enjoyable read. | |||||||||||
75 | Metro Louisville | Feature Writing | Third Place | LEO Weekly | Dancing towards Diversity: Louisville Ballet raises its barre | Erica Rucker | The topic of race and diversity in the world of dance is not a new subject. But seeing it through the personal perspective of this writer gave it new life. The exchanges between her and those involved with Louisville's ballet scene are what elevate this piece above the typical, fact-driven articles that lean on quotes for perspective and emotion. A well-written feature that takes us full circle in the best possible way. | |||||||||||
