Looks like today is the day for awards and recognition....
The Best
We'd like to congratulate the folks at the Press-Telegram and Daily News for their showing in the California Newspaper Publishers Association's Best Newspaper Contest.
In Long Beach, photographers Diandra Jay, Stephen Carr, and Scott Smeltzer were each recognized for their work, as was designer Wendy Dinsmore (who has since moved to the Breeze).
We haven't heard details on the Daily News awards yet, so if anyone has more information, let us know and we'll post it here!
Either way, congratulations to everyone. We've always asserted that LANG is full of outstanding journalists performing above-average work. It's nice to see a few of them get the recognition they deserve.
...and the rest
In addition to his scariest person in Long Beach honorific, William Dean Singleton earned himself another award today.
In case you didn't think the disconnect between business world and the reality was quite wide enough, we've gotten word that the MediaNews CEO has been lauded as the 2009 Community Cultural Enrichment Award Recipient by Denver's Mizel Museum.
Community....cultural....enrichment. Wow.
David Burgin, who worked for Singleton for 25 years, editing his papers in Dallas, Houston and Oakland, is on a long list of Singleton supporters. "If journalism had an award like a medal of honor, Dean should get it," said Burgin.

Sounds Like Rich or Larry when he talks about Dean.
" Dean Singleton saved the Press-Telegram when he bought it "
Sounds more like one pathetic little moneygrubber likes to surround himself with yes men.
The internet must really chap your hide, eh Billy?
Still quiet about the DN's layoffs, huh? Any word of layoffs coming to the PT or the Breeze? Make yourselves useful!
Looks like we had to hear it from LA Observed, and not this lame union. So, again: any word of layoffs at the PT or Breeze?

Hey Anon did you get the email oh no that's right your not a member of the Lame union. We all got it first and then LAObserved posted it.
Oh and mix it up a little and try another word other than lame, your starting to bore me.
your union is what's boring AND useless.
So boring and useless that you're obsessively coming back to the blog over and over again to post comments?
Boring and useless?
I think your talking about upper management.
Keep reading and keep the comments coming I love it.
I'm glad you can vent your frustrations towards the union, sounds like your under allot of stress, god knows the union is the problem right? The union is the one holding back MediaNews from success.
Ha Ha Your medium is dying !!!
Thanks for also mentioning the daily breeze along with the PT and the daily news.
the breeze folks won:
Daily Breeze, (D)

as with all things press telegram and the daily breeze, can you feel the love? keeps me warm at night.
Technically, the Breeze isn't part of the guild. Why would they talk about you exactly?

...hmmmm professional courtesy? Sister paper? Comrades in LANG? Gee, what was I thinking of, you are right! Forgot that awards only count if they are part of the Guild. Enjoy.

PUH-leeze! The PT couldn't care less about the Breeze, and vice-versa.
Sometimes LANG feels like a circus...
"If you thought the bearded lady was amazing folks, wait til' you see what we've got next....a 200lb baby!
