Redemption

Today JagWire won the Best in Show award for newspaper for our Oral Sex issue at yesterday's WJEA conference. I'm not sure what to make of it, and I left the conference feeling somewhat deflated. The kids were excited, as they should be, however I only know that I'm likely to suffer some sort of reprimand or negative feedback in my file. It is difficult when the journalism side of things is being honored, yet I'm being hung on the judgment/process side of the paper. There were no procedures to follow, no mechanisms in place to take questions or concerns, but I'm being held responsible. This is not so good.
