Dear Readers:
I am pleased to report that Baltimore Fishbowl won nine awards in the Maryland, Delaware, District of Columbia Press Association Contest this week for stories published in 2019. It is Baltimore Fishbowl’s first year competing in the contest, which included nearly 1900 submissions from 52 member organizations. Baltimore Fishbowl entered the contest in Division O, for online news.
Our managing editor Brandon Weigel won two awards, one for first place, which he shared with former associate editor Ethan McLeod, (now an associate editor at Baltimore Business Journal) for our continuing coverage of labor struggles at The Baltimore Sun.

Ethan won a second-place award in the breaking news category for his story on the ransomware attack that hit city government.
