The article won in the Special Sections category, competing against similarly sized newspapers across California.
Associate Editor Jack Needham won first place in the Technology reporting category for his Dec. 6 article, "As lawyers and lawmakers tackle AI, the 1990s loom large," which compares early internet regulation to today's efforts to govern artificial intelligence.

Associate Editor Laurinda Keys took fifth in the Features category for her Nov. 5, 2024, piece, "Killing of California goat, NY squirrel is government overreach, attorneys say."
