Creative Loafing is proud to announce the fact that we're the shit.
In the 2007 NCPA News, Editorial and Photojournalism Contest, two of our entries won first place. Not second place. Not stinky third place. FIRST place.
In the category of News Feature Writing, reporter Karen Shugart won for her story "Casualities of War." Read it here.
And in the category of Lighter Columns, John Grooms won for three selections from his Boomer With Attitude column. Read them: "Mommy, can I stone the queer?"; "Overkill? What overkill?"; and "Do it yourself campaign ads."
