My article titled "New Law Could Curb Child Consignment Businesses," which ran in Baton Rouge Parent Magazine, won a 2010 gold news feature award in the Parenting Publications of America's Editorial Awards Competition.
Here's what the judges had to say about the article:
"This article offers unique insights into how environmental concerns over contaminated toys and clothing affect second hand businesses while making parents' shopping choices more complex. The author managed to seamlessly connect the ripple effects of product recalls, their effects on neighborhood entrepreneurs, and the potential dangers to children in a revealing, well-investigated story."
