Stet News
We are honored to share that Stet News is a finalist for two awards from the Florida Society of Professional Journalists.
Why it’s important: The Sunshine State Awards is Florida’s largest and oldest journalism contest. It recognizes the best writing, photography and design from the largest legacy news operations, like the Miami Herald and The Palm Beach Post, to ambitious nonprofit startups like Stet.
- Earning recognition for excellence in our first year inspires us to work even harder for you.
Stet is one of three finalists in these categories:
Best digital newsletter for a collection of three Stet newsletters from last year.
Best environment, science and technology beat reporting for three stories:
- An investigation by Joel Engelhardt and Jessica Abramsky of Florida Atlantic University’s student-run University Press of the abrupt closing of a signature $35 million science building on FAU’s Jupiter campus.
- Two stories by Joel that found private ownership and a dispute over land valuehave jeopardized Palm Beach County’s ability to preserve pristine wetlands on the Palm Beach-Martin County border.
Stet media partner WLRN is a finalist in several categories, including investigative reporting, best podcast and journalist and editor of the year.
What’s next: First-place winners will be announced Aug. 17. See the full list of finalists here.
