ABQjournal: AP Members Confer Honors on Journal

The Albuquerque Journal took first-place honors for science writing, columns and sports writing in the New Mexico Associated Press Managing Editors annual contest.

Awards for excellence in news coverage for 2004 were given in three circulation divisions for newspapers in New Mexico, as well as those along the state borders that receive the New Mexico state AP wire.

Longtime Journal writer John Fleck swept all three places for science writing. …

Science Writing? 1. Albuquerque Journal, Landfill debate deadlocked, John Fleck. 2. Albuquerque Journal, Changing landscape, John Fleck. 3. Albuquerque Journal, Larger brains, longer lives, John Fleck.

But this is not the first time Fleck has been recognized. See mjh’s Blog: A Man of Science.
