Congratulations to the Guardian-Journal

Congratulations to the Homer newspaper, the Guardian-Journal, and to editor Michele Bates and publisher Kathy Hightower, on winning two first place  awards for investigative reporting.   Awards were awarded by the Louisiana Press Association, meeting jointly  with the Mississippi Press Association.

One award was for a story questioning travel expenditures of the mayor,  Another story receiving a first place award concerned the town's failure to comply with a notice from the Louisiana Auditor's Office.

As a former editor of the Guardian-Journal, I can appreciate what an accomplishment  this was for the paper and its staff.
