The Standard-Speaker of Hazleton won second place in a Pennsylvania APME contest for its coverage of immigration issues in the commonwealth's highest city.
Just goes to show you how meaningless these award things are. The Standard-Speaker is as god-awful a newspaper as you'll find in any town, anywhere.
ReplyDeleteThat's kinda harsh...
ReplyDeleteThere was a good story...it just happened to be in Hazleton.
And since the Standard-Speaker doesn't have much to cover otherwise -- they could dig dip into the topic.
I think it's slightly unfair to all them the god-awful paper.
they should enjoy it now considering theyve been bought and are gonna be closed.
ReplyDeleteWho bought them?
ReplyDeleteAnd why would they be closed?
They're the only paper that covers the Hazleton area.
The Standard-Speaker can't even spell things correctly, let alone write a good story. "God-awful" is very fitting.
ReplyDeleteHm. Who won first place?
