Judges' comments
- Joel Eagle
Four hours doesn’t give one much time to turn a story, but there were several stories here that did it with style. The winner took a routine flooding story and made it memorable. Goods natural sound, nice visual images, and personality!!!
- Jay Korff
These winners were able to create cohesive, compelling and entertaining stories in half the time most crews get. These photojournalists proved that a lot can be accomplished in a short period of time.
- Regina McCombs
The winning stories each had good pictures, nice moments and creative approaches to what could have been very standard coverage – things not easy to achieve on tight deadline.
In spite of the fact that live shots are allowed in this category this year, we didn’t see any that were interesting or creative.
- Mark Morache
This category was wide open. There was a lot of standard news stories that looked like just regular news, not award winners. The first place told a nice story with steady shots, good sound, thoughtful editing, good surprises and a nice natural rhythm. It’s a good four hour turn. We saw a lot of stories that could have been so much better if they had simply shot sequences, kept their shots clean and clear of distractions, and found a compelling personal center to their story.
- Erica Simpson
First place was well put together with great use of nat sound. Good choice of bites and excellent timing of the bites to add humor.
