“In the past 38 years, Weisberg has covered a variety of beats, from suburban communities in San Diego County to San Diego City Hall, downtown redevelopment and the real estate industry.
“Her current coverage includes the battle to expand the convention center, short-term rental regulations in San Diego and SeaWorld.
“Weisberg’s award is named after Harold Keen, who anchored San Diego’s first television news broadcast in 1949.”
