Walkerville Weekly Reader wins journalism accolades

The Reader’s article on Springsteen’s arrest wins award for telling essential truths: The Most Gratuitious Use of the Word Nigger in a Serious Newspaper, presented by Ken Boris of the Main Stream News Association.

In reaction to your comment on a fellow reader’s comment, isn’t using the word “Nigger” in your article about Bruce Springsteen being arrested; hateful speech. You are guilty, lying, ignorant cheats.

Thank you. The Walkerville Weekly Reader proudly accepts this award. As newspapermen (and women), we pride ourselves on being independent, balanced, unbiased journalists, just as you describe.
