From a letter to the editor that appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune:
If a smaller design staff means fewer, smaller photos and graphics, I say, hurrah — that leaves more room for news. And whenever I start grumbling about typos or misplaced modifiers, I’m going to be thankful for the bigger picture and excuse these minor faults.

VICTORIA LIM: “MULTI-PLATFORM REPORTING AND STORYTELLING”
TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 6:30 P.M., LNCO BUILDING, UNIVERSITY OF UTAH
The Utah Headliners Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists will host award-winning journalist Victoria Lim for a presentation on multi-platform reporting and storytelling. This presentation will include a question and answer session with Ms. Lim, and will be held in the Language and Communications Building, LNCO room 1110, at the University of Utah on March 20, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Professional journalists and students are invited to attend, and the event is free
UPDATE: Added some titles and names, waiting for more.
UPDATE: Names will apparently be released today.
The results of the Utah Press Association’s annual contest is the most confusing and frustrating release of winners we see every year. This year there is no exception, with added humor as the categories include sponsors:
Best Breaking News Story sponsored by Parr Brown Gee & Loveless
Best News Coverage sponsored by the Deseret News
Best News Series sponsored by Smith’s Food & Drug
Best Feature or Community Lifestyle Page sponsored by Zions Bank
Again this year, no names are listed with the winners, just their outlet. So we have no idea who the winning photographers are or what the images were. Help us try to fill in the names by leaving comments, but please don’t hold your breath. There are still a half dozen very nice plaques from 2009 collecting dust in a drawer at the office because no one knows which photographer won them.
Here now the photo results…
