"Far superior job"

Jury chair Jim Marshall Jim Marshall is the name of:
  • Jim Marshall (U.S. politician) (born 1948), Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives
  • Jim Marshall (UK politician) (1941–2004), British Labour Party politician
 said, "For more than 10 years, I've headed the NEPF journalism awards committee, and while I look back fondly on the good old days, the current crop of newsletter reporters and editors are doing a far superior job to what we did 10, 20 and 25 years ago.

"There is no comparison in quality. The writing is sharper and tighter and the articles are better written," he said.

"One important criterion is always: What is the importance or value of the article to the reader of the newsletters? As judges, we try to put ourselves in the position of the reader.

"Will this story help him to do a better job, will it make him take some action, will it alert him to some problem or difficulty his organization or business faces, will it help the reader to solve problems?

"Another important criterion is: How much original reporting went into the story? Did the reporter do a lot of digging, or was most of the story based on a report or study that someone else had done?" Marshall said.

He also noted that for the first time in the history of the awards, a first-place was given to a publication delivered electronically, Warren Communication's Washington Internet Daily/Communications Daily.
