San Antonio Express-News wins community service prize for its coverage of sexual assault in the military
The San-Antonio Express-News reports:
The San Antonio Express-News won first place in community service Sunday at the Texas Associated Press Managing Editors Convention for the newspaper’s in-depth coverage of sexual assaults in the military.
In the same journalism contest, the Headliners Foundation of Texas also awarded investigative reporter Karisa King a Star Reporter of the Year Award for her work in “Twice Betrayed,” a seven-month project that revealed how the military rarely punished troops accused of sexual assault — but penalized victims.
Express-News art director Adrian Alvarez also won a Star Designer of the Year Award for his page designs of “Twice Betrayed” and other news stories.
“Series like ‘Twice Betrayed’ exemplify our commitment to public-interest journalism,” Express-News Editor Mike Leary said. “We’re proud of receiving recognition for the fine work our staff does.”
