Best Presentation Of A Delicate Subject

Julie Bonnin

Austin American-Statesman feature writer Julie Bonnin deserves special recognition for trusting her sensibilities in both her research and writing of "Who Killed Caitlin?," the story of a 12-year-old girl who hanged herself in the bathroom of Cedar Park Middle School. Bonnin dug deep, yet recognized the sensitive nature of the subject. Few reporters - or their editors, for that matter - have the courage to explore such delicate ground.
