Hilary Snow
The State Port Pilot
Southport
Hilary's entries show her excellent eye for finding moving community stories. Her article "Wake Up and Smell the Gospel" is a delightful read about a church that turns into a free coffeehouse with live entertainment once a month. Another article, a slice-of-life piece on a pastor holding Sunday morning services at a movie theater, hit all the right notes in 8 inches. |

Yonat Shimron
The News & Observer
Raleigh
Yonat's entries exhibit the reporter's ability to write beautiful, touching stories in a controlled style that never gets over-emotional or sappy. Her orphan choir and cystic fibrosis stories are great examples of this. Another entry, on a rescued Torah, is reported and written so well it almost seems she accompanied the Torah to its home in Prague. Her stories all include appropriate context expertly woven into the stories' fabric. She is an excellent religion reporter. |
