The Journal’s own Heidi Walters has been named a national finalist for beat reporting by the Association of Alternative Newsmedia. We entered just a few of her wonderful and diverse pieces of environmental reporting: Bright Bird, about research into bird intelligence; The World is Yours, Oyster Farmer, about aquaculture in Humboldt Bay, and A Place in the Woods, about threatened closures of state parks.
Winners will be announced on July 13 at the association’s annual conference in Miami.
This article appears in Humboldt At Work.
Congratulations, Heidi!
