San Diego SPJ is debuting two new awards to recognize the most helpful and not-so-helpful sources in 2014.
The Window Award will go to the public official or agency that most prioritized transparency and the public’s right to know in 2014.
The Wall Award will go to the public official or agency that made it hardest for journalists to do their jobs in 2014, ignoring requests or otherwise compromising the public’s right to know.
On Tuesday night, journalists and campaign communication directors had a rowdy discussion of the 52nd Congressional District race between Scott Peters and Carl DeMaio. Arguments were had, accusations were made and there was a lot of shouting from members of the audience.
If you missed San Diego SPJ’s discussion, we have video thanks to Bradley Fikes at U-T San Diego. You can watch the videos, divided into sections, here or below.
