I wrote a little earlier today that the Register Star was a finalist in four categories in the Best of GateHouse contest.
We won’t know for a few weeks if we get the newspaper of the year nod. The rest of the winners, however, were announced tonight on the GateHouse Newsroom site.
Our Judy Emerson shared features writer of the year honors with two others. We did not win the public service or team project awards.
Way to go, Judy.

A Regular Bricks and Clicks reader wondered why I hadn’t commented on the recent “Scientology attacks.” Well, Dude, here you go …
No matter how you feel about Scientology, hacking into the church’s Web site is just plain wrong. A group calling itself “Anonymous” posted anti-Scientology messages on the church’s site. This PC World article delves deeper and has some good links including to this Gawker post (which includes video of Tom Cruise talking about Scientology).
I don’t get Scientology, and I am no fan of Tom Cruise (who seems to be the main face of the religion). But there are more ethical ways to getting your message out there than taking over a Web site.

The Register Star is a finalist in four categories in the Best of GateHouse contest. Our parent company is blogging in live time about the judging process — including naming finalists — and expects to name most of the champions Friday.
The Register Star is a finalist in:
- Newspaper of the year
- Public service of the year
- Team project of the year
- Features writer of the year - Judy Emerson
We entered several pieces, so it’s hard to say what specific content is being recognized.
