Express in winner’s circle—again

Idaho Press Club awards newspaper, magazine 50 awards


By KEN RETALLIC
Express Staff Writer

The Idaho Press Club was good to the Idaho Mountain Express during a popular Kentucky Derby weekend in Boise. The Ketchum newspaper serving the Wood River Valley and Blaine County scored a "trifecta" in the awards presentation Saturday for 2002 news stories, photography and design.

The Express won first place in the General Excellence category, Best in Arts for both weeklies and dailies, and the Sweepstakes Award for the most awards presented to a weekly newspaper.

In all, the Express won 46 newspaper awards, including 14 first place awards. Its writers, photographers and graphic designers also swept up the awards in four categories: Sports News, Sports Features, Sports Photography, and Graphic Design.

In addition, the Sun Valley Guide, published by Express Publishing, won four awards, including a first place in General Excellence for a print publication’s Web site.
