DU Editorial Wins LA Press Club Award [View all]

Last night, the LA Press Club held the 68th Southern California Journalism Awards for works in 2025, with the award for Online Editorial going to DU. “A Call to Action on a Somber VE Day” by Bennet Kelley took the top prize. The judges explained:

This is an eloquent and engaging call for citizens to consider the values and ideals that previous generations of Americans fought for; the institutions they created, --and their dedication to expanding and sustaining democracy. VE (Victory Europe) Day, May 1945, celebrates the defeat of fascism and Nazism, as 80 years later those dark ideals are gaining traction here. A thoughtful and relevant editorial for today.
