3B. Hard News Report [Television] First Place Tom Lyden KMSP-TV Treasure Above, Riches Below An informative and intriguing story about the proposed copper-nickel mine near the Minnesota Boundary Waters.

    John Michael      
  Second Place Jennifer Mayerle WCCO-TV Lead Concerns Linked to Water Gremlin  
    Sean Skinner      
    Dave Chaney      
    Grant Verdon      
3C. Feature [Television] First Place Boyd Huppert KARE 11 Bob & Lulu This story about Bob’s friendship with Lulu, an injured ruffed grouse, is a prime example of how something that might appear to be insignificant can turn into a great feature story when properly told. This is a touching piece.
    Chad Nelson      
3E. Investigative [Television] First Place AJ Lagoe KARE 11 Mission Critical This entry showed a variety of investigative techniques to get answers for a segment of the population who deserve our respect-veterans. KARE looked into ways the government is failing our veterans, financially, physically and mentally. The stories had broad appeal and were packed full of emotion.

3F. Newscast [Television] First Place WCCO Newsroom WCCO-TV WCCO This Morning WCCO’s newscast had an interesting set of stories — from a fire to perspective on the immigrant population in Minnesota to kitties and birdies and the baseball museum. Something for everyone in this newscast.
3G. Sports News Coverage [Television] First Place Boyd Huppert KARE 11 Triumph, Tragedy & Laughter These are three wide-ranging sports stories that are definitely not typical. A touching story about a world-class gymnast who balances training, school, family and her dad’s injury; the crazy all hockey hair team video; the fun sandlot marathon. These stories give sports coverage a new, interesting definitely not run-of-the-mill definition.
