June 04, 2007Dept. Of Self PromotionThis weekend, I won first place in science and health reporting in an SPJ competition among alt-weekly papers in five states. It was for a story I did last year in Seattle Weekly, my former employer, and involved a crusading lawyer going after Washington State's ineffective medical marijuana law. Kind of ironic that it appeared in the last issue that was edited by my old bosses before the new folks from New Times took over the Weekly. Posted by Philip Dawdy at June 4, 2007 12:01 AM

Congrats. You were very passionate about that article. Then the new management came in and started giving you stories about football...??? Wonderful News!!!! Posted by: Angie at June 4, 2007 05:33 AMCongratulations Philip. And I like your commentary on the NYT's articles. I posted them without commentary yesterday. I appreciate your journalistic analysis on them. Something I only wish I could do more of. I think you deserve a daily award for your ongoing coverage here. What are you currently thinking as far as the life of the blog goes? I worry about us losing such a rich source of information. I don't remember if I told you when you put out your email about wondering if you would continue--my husband worked for 5 years on his passion--uncovering shit on another topic and finally did get a job out of it. I guess it's just a question of how long you can hang in there. I can't believe someone or some organization out there won't recognize your value at some point and offer you bucks. Posted by: Gianna at June 4, 2007 05:44 AMCongratulations, that article was outstanding! Excellent writing. The Weekly hasn't had a cover story that good since you left. That lawyer is one of my secret heroes, he kicks ass. Great job Philip Posted by: Stephany at June 4, 2007 06:55 AMAdd this to the list. As most people know, my daughter has an intense story. After reading much of Philip's work, I made a decision before he ever knew it; that he would be the only journalist allowed by me to write about her, if there ever was a reason to write. Based on what I saw. High journalistic and personal integrity, well-balanced, truthful, fair and thorough reporting. Written so well, that it was without a doubt, this was the only person in such an industry that I knew I could trust to tell the story. If I had an award to give, it would be a bronze steel toed boot award. I've met, and been interviewed by enough journalists and TV personalities to find out the hard way, they take things out of context, etc. Being a trusted investigative journalist with high integrity and honest reporting is why this guy wins awards right and left.
