Community Service
DAILY
1. Beaumont Enterprise. Kids Having Kids: In-depth reporting, good journalism. Donating the money to the cause was community service. Good job.
2. Baytown Sun. Literacy: Excellent effort. Coverage of literacy problems is good journalism. The newspaper staff committing time to help is good community service.
3. Waxahachie Daily Light. The War Years: This type of section reinforces the role of the newspaper as a documentation of history. The benefits are probably even greater to your young readers than to your older readers.
4. Mount Pleasant Daily Tribune. Good Samaritan in Need: Good way to support your community.
WEEKLY / SEMIWEEKLY
1. Garrison in the News. Garrison Heritage: Great effort and community involvement.
2. Quanah Tribune-Chief. Main Street Quanah: The coverage is good journalism. Helping prepare and organize the application process is involvement beyond the newsroom. Great job.

4. Hico News Review. Support Hico. Good support of worthwhile community project — donating advertising and layout.
