Me Too. Congrats to the people at NDN. Life may be short but a mangled sentence once written lives forever. This is especially true for headlines.

i see no awards for journalism, NDN doesn't report what really goes on here in Naples. The illegal alien problem seldom gets reported. crime is put in there sparingly so it doesn't scare the tourist dollar.
all in all NDN gets a D- imo.
but congrat to the award winners.

Congrats. These awards say it all about the NDN. Big on sports and graphic content but low on substantive, quality journalism. In other words, NDN appeals to jocks and illiterates.

That's exactly correct - do you see any awards in there for anything with the words "reporting" or "investigative" or even "writing" in the titles? Nope, it's all sizzle, no steak.
