At the Oregon and Washington Society of Professional Journalists’ annual awards banquet on Saturday, EW picked up a handful of nifty certificates. While SPJ has the year’s award recipients listed on a nifty PDF, we thought it might be helpful — or at least potentially interesting to one or two people — to give a quick rundown with handy-dandy links.

The State of Suds
Third place, special section

Yeah, yeah, we didn’t get any firsties. We’ll try harder. And maybe shake our puny fists in admiration at Willamette Week‘s impressive restaurant guide in the meantime.
Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
