At the time she was nominated, Angie Muhs was executive editor/vice president of audience development at SJ-R.com -The State Journal-Register where she had been for nearly five years, also serving as the national president of the Associated Press Media Editors. Muhs was a national leader in other news programs. Muhs was selected for the award because she was an early leader among newspaper editors who committed their paper’s participation in a national press effort to respond to political criticism aimed at news media. Hundreds of other print and broadcast news outlets joined in as awareness of the educational effort spread.
