LJWorld.com, Journal-World win third-consecutive APME Convergence Award

The Lawrence Journal-World and LJWorld.com on Monday won their third consecutive Associated Press Managing Editors Convergence Award.

“Underground Kansas,” which was reported, edited and produced by Mark Fagan, Nick Nelson, John Henry, Jonathan Kealing and Caroline Trowbridge, is an in-depth, multimedia look at off-limits sites, valuable resources and other features that exist beneath the state’s surface.

This award follows top APME Convergence Awards for 2007’s “Mining’s Legacy: A Scar on Kansas” and 2008’s “Self-Made Champions,” an interactive review of the Kansas Jayhawks’ national championship season.
