SALT LAKE CITY — Deseret News staffers took away 29 awards, including nine first place wins, in this year's Utah-Idaho-Spokane Associated Press Association contest.
Among the awards announced Monday, the Deseret News won the William H. Cowles III Memorial Award for Public Service for its series "Generation Vexed," which explored anxiety in today's teens.
The memorial award recognizes a publication's efforts to improve its community by "spotlighting an issue," according to the AP. Judges consider how newspapers use their resources "in serving the public good" and the quality of journalism in the entries.
