TV BOP

 

 

 

It’s been a great week of judging over 700 entries in the 2009 NPPA TV BOP contest.  I consider myself to be very lucky to get to do this every year.  Not only do I get to see some of the best of the best in storytelling, I get to share the week with some of the most talented photojournalists, editors, and reporters in the country.  And we get to use the wonderful facilities at the Poynter Institute.  Al Tompkins and his group here are THE BEST.  All I can say to everyone is THANK YOU!  Thank you for you time here, your time away from your home and family, and thank you not killing each other this week!
