Hazel Park story tops

 Return Home
April 14, 2005 Send To A Friend  | Print View

"Raising the Stakes," a series printed last year about Hazel Park Harness Raceway in the Daily Tribune newspaper that covers the area in suburban Detroit, has won the Michigan Associated Press Sweepstakes Award. The award means the judges considered it the best story among all the award winners in 2004.



The series delved into the history of the raceway, profiled people who make their living on and around the track, and forecast what could happen if the state fails to change policies about slot machines at race tracks.



The racetrack series also took first place in the enterprise category.



"One of the strengths of our staff is their willingness to collaborate on stories and series," Daily Tribune editor Mike Beeson told AP. "In this case, they planned and plotted how best to present all angles of the raceway issue, and the judges clearly recognized their effort."
