Letter: News wins awards — and moral leadership

TO THE EDITOR: 

Dear Editorial Board: 

Please stop the pretense of moral authority. 

The product on the page does not match. 

For example: Does the School of Journalism really need a scolding about the importance (or lack thereof) of journalism awards? 

Does the DTH really need to pat itself on the back for searching out the real news that won’t win awards?

No and No. Please find such news. It’s the news that wins and earns the awards. 

That’s what makes the DTH a moral leader, instead of specious homilies.
