SUSTAINED/BEAT REPORTING

Judged by Dan Malone, Dallas Morning News, winner of the 1992 Pulitzer Prize in investigative reporting.

First Place
Carla McClain, Tucson Citizen, "Wolf Reintroduction"

"In a category filled with much fine reporting and writing, the winners were the stories I couldn't put down or kept returning to again and again. The portryal of the gray wolf's tragic return to the wilderness was a standout. But there was solid competition from the courthouse, the reservation and the technology desk about equally troubling and complex problems."

Second Place
Jon Burstein, The Arizona Daily Star, "Courthouse Coverage"

Third Place
Penelope Overton, The Tribune, "Native Treasures"
