Dallas Observer
For all the time and energy that
Elizabeth Albanese (left) spent hijacking the Dallas press club's journalism contest, it didn't do her much good other than to let her play Cinderella once a year, write
Matt Pulle and
Jesse Hyde. "Her awards didn't buy her prominence or land her a plum reporting job at a major publication. But for Albanese, the [Katie Awards] were the necessary props in her imagined life as an acclaimed journalist. In her fantasy world, she had a wealthy husband, a cabin in Colorado and a villa in Greece. In reality, Albanese was a no-name reporter with a criminal record who wrote dull and forgettable stories on municipal finance."
