Daily Record staffers bring home 10 awards

The staff of the San Marcos Daily Record brought home 10 awards from the Texas Associated Press Managing Editors Saturday in Austin.

Staff Reporter Robin Blackburn, Photographer Denise Cathey, Managing Editor Anita Miller and Lead Designer Colton Ashabranner all won first place awards. 

Blackburn and Cathey won an elite “Star” award for “Clouded Horizons,” about residents of the Siesta Mobile Home Park who formed a tenants’ association to press for much-needed repairs and safety improvements. Judge Julie Stricker of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner had this to say: “Well-written, informative story with a good mix of the human element and stats.”
