Staff writer Charles Scudder won the excellence in the writing category for large digital news organizations.

Keith Campbell, managing editor of The Dallas Morning News, said:

“I am thrilled that The News has been recognized for this compelling work. Charlie went deep beyond the breaking-news headlines to tell a story of evil, love and the painful, dogged search for truth.”
