Episode Details

Local paper WW dominated the AAN Awards, sweeping nine prizes including five first-place wins—more than any other outlet. Rachel Saslow’s frog-costume protest piece stood out for its power in correcting national misreporting, while Sophie Peel took home two firsts: one on Portland’s strict tree code and another for leading interns to uncover worsening conditions in East Portland. Anthony Effinger won for exposing a failed healthcare merger, and Whitney McPhie claimed top honors for editorial design on a beekeeping story plus an honorable mention for cover art. Even runners-up like Joanna Hou (who triggered a resignation) and Chance Solem-Pfeifer (who ranked Oregon’s best films) proved the whole team’s commitment to excellence.
