Johnsville Names Award “Winners”

The Johnsville News has just announced the “winners” of this year’s North Carolina Media Freedom of the Press Awards.

As expected, the McClatchy Company’s Raleigh News & Observer, which did so much to frame a group of innocent Duke students, garnered the lion’s share of awards but TJN also recognized other deserving journalists, including a student journalist.

Can you guess who won in the “Best Rush to Judgement” category?

How about “Best Cover-Up in support of a hoax?”

Nice work, Johnsville.
