Stet NewsStet News earned the second-place statewide award from the Florida Press Club for newsletter writing.
Stet Palm Beach was in good company over the weekend with our fellow award-winners at the Florida Press Club’s statewide Excellence in Journalism Competition in Clearwater Beach.
The club awarded its two top prizes to South Florida journalists.
- The Palm Beach Post’s Katherine Kokal won the Lucy Morgan Award for In Depth Reporting for stories about health reporting requirements for female student-athletes.
- The Sun-Sentinel took home the Frances De Vore Award for Public Service for its investigation of human trafficking.
Why it’s important: The decorated work led to changes in a state rule and a new law.
Stet contributor Joe Capozzi won first place in community news writing, general news writing and sports features. His detailed account of the tragic death of Carol Wright on the Royal Park Bridge took second place.
The Coastal Star, which has featured the work of Stet reporters, took home 13 awards, including a first place in education writing.
Stet earned the second-place award for newsletter writing.

- The South Florida Business Journal’s Ashley Portero won first place for her MiamiInno newsletter.
Congratulations to all of the Florida Press Club’s winners. And thank you to the readers who support them.
