Two of the judges had this to say about Butler and her work:
"I'm thrilled by the Society's decision, and grateful for the opportunity to visit New Orleans and interview Katrina victims this June," said Butler.Goodman commented: “A good combination of reporting and opinion with a tough look at her own administration. Liked the variety as well, from health care to stripping!”
Suzette Martinez Standring, a preliminary judge, also commented on Butler. “Articulate and well-researched columns on social justice topics. Her Voice and point of view is one to be reckoned with.”
Her First Prize also comes with $1000. Kristin has not decided yet how to put that to use.

Hmm, obviously the Chronicle didn't feel one of its own columnist's success was 'all the news that's fit to print'.
Maybe Kristin should have peed off a porch.
Has DSED asked the Chronicle to explain why it has not reported one of its own columnists has won a National Award?
Usually, any organization would be pleased and proud to broadcast such a success.
If someone has asked the Chronicle, and the Chronicle has responded, then what is the explanation?
Selective publication of the news is one of the techniques totalitarian regimes have always used to control opionion. Such control is, or should be, anathema to liberal education.

Is anyone working to bring this Blog back to life.
Many of us sure worked hard to promote the blog.
Should we assume that you just used us and then moved on?
