The Journal won four awards for writing and photography in the Virginia Press Association’s News, Editorial and Photo Contest — twice the number they earned last year. Awards were presented at the annual conference and awards banquet in Norfolk, April 9.

The Journal editorial staff — consisting of Jessica Herrink and Ruth Herrink — took first place for editorial writing. The entry consisted of three pieces: “LoBuglio’s coup against transparency,” which ran May 12; “Is Lynn Brownley Westmoreland’s Mayor Barry?” which ran Oct. 27; and “Barbara Worrell: A sense of betrayal,” which ran Dec. 22.

The judge comments said the portfolio was “easily the best in my opinion. Flowed nicely. Was very readable and was just good storytelling. Interesting and pot-stirring.”
