Mission Local wins 'General Excellence' category at California Journalism Awards
Briefly

Mission Local's supervisor election coverage is unrivaled in this competition. Neil Ballard's fresh illustrations, the reporting teams' commitment to a weekly question for each candidate and a campaign funding tracker. Mission Local calls this Meet the Candidate, I'd call it outstanding election coverage.
Easily best writing in the competition. The judges wrote and drew particular attention to Eskenazi's April 7 column, 'Bob Lee deserved better than to be killed - and then co-opted in death.'
Data maven Will Jarrett's interactive tour-de-force on $70 million worth of law-enforcement settlements received a third-place nod with a 'special shout-out to the graphics' by Jarrett and the illustrations by Molly Oleson and Pnina Ramati.
Mission Local continues to punch above its weight. We'd like to thank our wonderful staff, all the readers, and the donors to our nonprofit newsroom who literally make this possible.
