The Scripps Howard Awards, honoring the best in national journalism since 1953, today named The Denver Post and KMGH as top award winners for 2012. Coverage of two major Colorado events that were national news stories, the mass theater shooting and the wildfires, earned the outlets top honors.
The Denver Post won the award in the breaking news category and will be honored with $10,000 and a trophy for coverage of the Aurora theater shooting. Denver’s 7News won the TV/Cable in-depth local coverage award, and will pick up $10,000 and the Jack R. Howard Award for “Investigating the Fire,” which uncovered governmental mismanagement of the 2012 wildfires.
An awards program book and video featuring the winners’ work will be online at www.scripps.com/foundation after the May 9 presentations in Naples, Fla.

I wonder if KMGH being owned by Scripps Howard had anything to do with the award?
