On July 13, business editors, art directors, and others gathered for our annual award ceremony at the
Tabard Inn and heard from the ombudsman for
The Washington Post, Deborah Howell. Howell discussed the current ethical issues confronting journalists and the crucial role that she believes that the press plays in ensuring democracy.

- the District of Columbia,
- Florida,
- Georgia,
- Maryland,
- North Carolina,
- Ohio,
- South Carolina,
- Virginia, and
- West Virginia.
Here is the list of the winners.
