Fort Worth Weekly Editor Gayle Reaves, former investigative reporter Dan Malone and journalism professor Craig Flournoy were recently chosen as co-recipients of the Freedom of Information Foundation of Texas’ James Madison Award of 2006. The three were honored for their work on the Light of Day project, in which journalism students from several Texas universities filed hundreds of open records requests with local law enforcement agencies on their use of Tasers and other non-lethal measures. The best of the resultant stories were printed in the Weekly. The Madison award was presented Friday at the FOIFT annual convention in Austin.
Well-known speakers and good facilities earned the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies' 2006 Annual Convention good ratings in the evaluation survey. Ninety-eight percent of attendees agreed that the convention was a success, and 63 percent said they strongly agreed -- a striking increase from the 34 percent of participants who strongly agreed that the 2005 Convention in San Diego was a success. Particularly notable are the high marks given to featured speaker Bill Clinton and sales presenter Helen Sutton.
