i am entered in two categories for the georgia assocation of broadcasters’ 2008 gabby awards. i am entered for best newscast and best story series. my newscast led with a story on a hostage situation near where we used to live, and my series is four stories about our police chief who resigned after being investigated for misconduct by a former federal bureau of investigation agent. i think both are strong contenders. last year, one of my stories won best news story for our class. as i’ve said before, i wish we got our names on the awards, but at least i can still put the wins on my resume since i wrote the stories. wish me luck!
