Tooting our own horn

We at Cold Case OKC (soon to be known as Cold Case Oklahoma) don’t do this for public acclaim. Our goal is to help families find justice — justice that is often long overdue.

But we’re proud of our work, so please allow us a moment to toot our own horn.

Cold Case OKC recently won an Addy award in the Interactive Media-Online category. The honor went to the Web team who built and maintain the Cold Case OKC Web site.

Two weeks ago, the Cold Case OKC print stories won first place in the public service reporting category of the 2007 Carl Rogan journalism awards.

Judges said: “A prime example of public service. Great job of bringing these cold cases back into (the) spotlight. The stories tugged at readers’ emotions and no doubt brought back memories for those who lived through it. Great job of reporting — and changing how the police department deals with unsolved homicides.”

Cold Case OKC is also a finalist for a Society of Professional Journalists’ First Amendment Award. Winners will be announced Friday in Arlington, Texas.

Thanks for your patience. We now return you to your regularly scheduled blog.
