“Picking a national quarterly winner for the spot news category was easy”, said one judge. The judges selected “Goin’ Places” from the smaller than usual pool of first place winners. It easily stood out among the competition. “Goin’ Places” was a quick moving nat sound piece with a great storyline and plenty of solid characters. The judges were impressed by the commitment of the photographer to work in the adverse conditions that were the genesis for the story in the first place. The photographer overcame cold, snow and traffic and shot “one heck of a story”. The judges were also impressed “Goin’ Places” was so well done, no one even realized there wasn't a reporter present until it was all over. “Goin’ Places” is the blueprint for how nat sound pieces should be done.
