DU Nominated for LA Press Club Award

The Los Angeles Press Club just announced its Finalists for the 68th Southern California Journalism Awards, and my column, "A Call to Action on a Somber VE Day," was nominated for Best Online Editorial. This is my third nomination for DU, with prior nominations in 2006 (won 2d place) and 2014.
