Earlier this week,
we noted that a piece in the
Fort Worth Weekly had won a 2008 Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) Award in the local-circulation weeklies category, but we neglected to mention that four other alt-weekly stories were IRE finalists. In the local-circulation weeklies category,
Phoenix New Times' John Dickerson had two stories place, while the
Houston Press' Chris Vogel had one. In addition,
L.A. Weekly's Christine Pelisek was the runner-up for the Tom Renner Award, which is specifically for crime reporting.
