The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation’s “Outdoor Oklahoma” magazine, Web site and television show recently received several prestigious awards from the Oklahoma Professional Chapter of the Society of professional Journalists.
Since 1909, the Society of Professional Journalists has worked to improve and protect journalism. With chapters across the nation, this professional organization is dedicated to encouraging the free practice of journalism and stimulating high standards of ethical behavior.
“It’s easy to do good work when you have such great subject matter,” said David Warren, chief of information and education for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. “These awards are really reflective of the hard work that all the Department employees are doing across the state, as well as the outstanding natural resources we are blessed with in Oklahoma.”
The contest drew nearly 600 entries, which were judged by three out-of-state SPJ chapters. Awards in newspaper, television, radio, magazines, Web sites and public relations were presented.
The Department received the following awards:
The Department’s weekly television program, “Outdoor Oklahoma,” placed first in the sports feature, and videography/sports feature categories. Both awards were given for a pond fishing show featuring Alan Trimble, Jenks football coach.
A show featuring the Red Slough Wildlife Management area took third in the special program or documentary category. A show featuring a Baron Fork River float trip placed third in the videography - series/documentary category.
“Outdoor Oklahoma,” the Department’s bi-monthly magazine, placed first in the feature photography category for the Reader’s Photography Showcase in the July/August 2002 issue. The July/August issue of “Outdoor Oklahoma” also placed second in the magazine - overall excellence category.
The Department’s Web site (http://www.wildlifedepartment.com) was awarded an honorable mention in the best Web site category.
