I think this comes
under the category of, if dog bites man it isn’t news, but if man bites dog it
is.

The Beacon Journal’s Bob Dyer won best columnist in the state
Friday from the Cleveland Press Club. Bob has rung that bell so often that I
would need to take off my shoes to count them all, it seems. Another year, another best columnist in Ohio.
Bob also won first place for investigative journalism for his
series on Ernest Angley and Grace Cathedral and second place for a single
column.
Not bad for a guy who used share a table in the Blue Room with me
for lunch for a gazillion years at Ol’ Blue Walls. It’s another of my nearby
claims to fame, such as meeting the daughter of the guy who coached Jerry West
at East Bank High School during my three-month winter in The Villages, Florida
with Paula.
Or washing my hands in the BJ newsroom after Gov. Jim Rhodes
finished his business and pretending I didn’t know who he was. Politicians HATE
not being recognized. At least Rhodes didn’t sic the National Guard on me the
way he did the Kent State students in 1970. Asshat!
Photographer Ed Suba Jr. won first places for general news and
photo story-telling and second place for general feature.
Fellow camera-clicker Phil Masturzo won first place for studio
photography, second for sports and third in sports and general news.
For single-day coverage of breaking news, the Beacon Journal won
first for its coverage of the Ebola outbreak spreading to Akron. That effort
was led by health reporter Cheryl Powell, business writer Katie Byard and
education writer Doug Livingston.
The same reporters, led by Powell, won a second place for Ebola
coverage over several days.
Livingston won a second place for his ongoing coverage of the
shameful Ohio charter schools money-sucking, piss-poor education efforts.
The News Outlet, a student journalism lab at Youngtown State
University and the University of Akron, was first among four-year colleges for
its online presentation on charter schools, which resulted in a call for
legislative action.
Business and consumer affairs writer Betty Lin-Fisher won first
place for business columns on car title loans, another scurrilous practice.
In page and graphic design, Edna Jakubowski won first place in the
single-page design category for Enjoy! magazine, Brian Shellito won second for
a newspaper page on Johnny Manziel and Rick Steinhauser and Kathy Hagedorn won
a third place for the design of a Black Friday shopping presentation.
Sports writer Marla Ridenour was second for best columnist.
Copy editor Mark J. Price, whose value in taking BJ readers down
memory lane with his articles of bygone Akron days is priceless, got second for
his headline, "Foam for the holidays," on a story about Christmas
beers.
Cleveland Cavs writer Jason Lloyd won a third place for his Cavs
blog.
Bob Downing was third for travel writing on the Toledo Great Lakes
museum.
Downing’s son, Andy, an Akron native, won several awards as a
reporter and critic for Columbus Alive magazine.
