BEST LOCAL NEWSPAPER REPORTER and BEST LOCAL TV NEWS REPORTER: Ann Doss Helms, Charlotte Observer and Stuart Watson, WCNC
Helms’ reporting on education has been invaluable during the past year when budget cuts and changes in the School Board have shaken Charlotte public schools to their foundations. Fair, dedicated, and a good writer to boot.
