Way to go, News-Sentinel!

Way to go, Knoxville News-Sentinel! The newspaper has won two national journalism awards for its coverage of the Knox County Commission's violation of the Open Meetings Act and the subsequent law suit it launched against the commission. And deservedly so. Hats off to the staff at the News-Sentinel for fulfilling their role as a government watchdog and for looking out for the citizens of Knox County and the First Amendment. Also, thanks for being a living example to journalism students like myself of how important that role is and how it works.
