Wasted in Wisconsin wins award
April 17, 2009
Tootin’ my own horn again. I was lucky enough to have worked on this great project — Wasted in Wisconsin — last summer at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. It examines the state’s drinking culture and its human repercussions.
Now it’s won a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Award for Safety.
It was a hell of an undertaking, incredibly in-depth, with a whole slew of people involved over many months, and I am glad to have been a part of it. Great job everybody!
Here’s some of what I worked on:
- Alcohol and death collide on Highway 41
- Alcohol-related fatal crashes 2003-’07
- State data show Highway 41’s danger
- Teen hit by ex-boyfriend
