Mansfield ISD honors local journalists
MANSFIELD, TX – Eva-Marie Ayala of the Star-Telegram and Nicholas Sakelaris of the Mansfield News-Mirror were named to the 2007 Media Honor Roll by Mansfield ISD. Sponsored by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB), The Media Honor Roll recognizes media representatives statewide who deserve recognition for fair and balanced reporting of news about public schools.

Criteria for the district’s selection included the journalists’ efforts to get to know the superintendent, board president, and the district’s mission and goals; report school news in a fair, accurate, and balanced manner; give a high profile to positive news about schools; visit the schools; and maintain a policy of no surprises by sharing information with school officials.
“We appreciate the efforts of Eva and Nick for their professionalism,” says Vernon Newsom, Superintendent. “Their reporting is outstanding.”
During their regular board meeting on August 27, the MISD Board of Trustees passed a formal resolution and presented Ayala and Sakelaris personalized certificates to commemorate this honor.
Editor's Note: It seems PegNews's own hard-hitting, investigative journalism (here, here and here) just wasn't good enough. Well, excuuuu-uuu-uuuse me.
