Best Newspaper Writing 2002 Reviews
-
This year's compilation was dominated by the September 11 attacks, and it makes for sobering reading. It's good to remind yourself of exactly what happened that day, and these dispatches bring you details, sometimes quite gory ones, that you may have missed on CNN. I wouldn't have wanted to see some of these things on TV, but it's important to know that they happened -- print is the perfect vehicle for that. The other standout entry here is a series of articles about the "Lost Boys of the Sudan", a group of children rescued from a horrible war in Africa and placed into group housing in Massachusetts.
