It's not much, but it's a first step to the Pulitzer.

Got an e-mail from the chair of the journalism department.

"Megan Wilson, who is interning for Scripps-Howard News Service in Washington, D.C., this semester, has captured 11th place in the Hearst National Writing competition for in-depth reporting.

She competed again 95 students from the Top 55 journalism programs in the country.

Her story on drunken driving and law enforcement was published in the Chico News and Review in October."

Read the front page feature here. I took the photos, too. CN&R is the one that messed with 'em, though.
This is the sidebar story that I wrote as well.
