Judges’ comments
This is a well written newspaper story focused on a
particular issue, i.e. the army’s intention to engage in agriculture and from
the perspective of a single source, i.e. an economist. However, the reporter
did well to obtain one external source (GCCI) to enhance the balance.
The reporter could have indeed sought many more sources to
further improve the presentation, originality and angling of the story.
