We’re number one! And also number two and three in the category of best independent news blog in the annual Page One Awards of the Minnesota Society of Professional Journalists. That’s Jay Gabler, Stephanie Fox and Sheila Regan, in alphabetical order, because I’m writing this before dashing out the door to the awards banquet and don’t yet know who is first, second and third. I do know that we have all three top spots, and that feels great!
