Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is Innovator of the Year
Sept. 11, 2008
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has won the Associated Press Managing Editors' second Innovator of the Year Award for launching an investigative reporting team that won a Pulitzer Prize for local reporting this year.
The Journal Sentinel won the award Thursday after a vote by the newspaper editors in Las Vegas during a journalism conference.
Other finalists were the Las Vegas Sun for Web site innovations, including a history of Las Vegas; and Florida Today of Melbourne, Fla., for a "mission control" approach to print and online coordination.
The Milwaukee paper's Pulitzer-winning series uncovered the padding of county employees' pensions.
Mark Katches, assistant managing editor for projects and investigations there, says readers have told him they were renewing their subscriptions to the newspaper because of its investigative work.
