Washington Post investigative AME
Jeff Leen says in a chat: "I will share with you one troubling piece of information that has been worrying me lately. A few year back, I judged the Selden Ring awards, which gives the highest money award for investigative reporting ($35,000) in the nation. The contest draws entries from papers all over the country and represent as good gauge of the top-notch investigative work being down in any given year. When I judged in 2003, there were about 100 entries. This year, my sources tell me, there were about 60. That's a 40 percent drop in four years."
