“The basic storyline is simple,” the judges said. Anger had “… the impossible task of saving a newspaper in the worst of circumstances. He went about it innovatively and aggressively. And while doing this, he oversaw his paper performing a great watchdog function of demanding accountability from government and leading investigations even amid great fight-back from the mayor.”
At the dinner, Anger will address the theme of the evening, “Why Journalism Matters.” Also being honored at the awards dinner will be 60 Minutes, journalism leader Bill Kovach, Brianna Keilar of CNN and Julie Hirschfeld Davis of AP, cartoonist Mike Keefe of the Denver Post, among others.
