"Fallout" Takes Another Awardnew
Lisa Davis' "Fallout" series, which won a George Polk Award a few weeks ago, wins a 2002 IRE Award for investigative journalism. Investigative Reporters and Editors Inc. honors Davis and John Mecklin of the SF Weekly for “Fallout,”
which reveals "how a Bayfront property about to be turned
over to the city by the Navy may be far more contaminated
with radioactive waste than current cleanup plans
acknowledge." Other AAN members Phoenix New Times and New Times Los Angeles were the two finalists in the local circulation weekly division, giving New Times a lock on the division.
