"Covering the News without Covering the News" Challenge Winners

Posted by Lima Al-Azzeh Sep 18, 2009

On September 1st 2009, Suite101 writers were challenged to cover the news without covering the news. The criteria involved using a recent piece of news coverage to inspire an article idea that would be searched for years to come.

We saw an overwhelming number of entries from Suite101 writers who were eager to share their knowledge and expertise in fields spanning from Business & Finance to Food & Drink.

Over the past few days, Suite101 Editor-in-Chief Colin Smith had the daunting task of sifting through these entries. Without further ado, here are your challenge winners:

"I am very pleased to announce the winners of the 'Covering the News without Covering the News' Writers Challenge for September. There were so many truly impressive articles submitted in the past two weeks, I was hard pressed to pick just two winners. So I have picked four winners! Congratulations to Victoria Anisman-Reiner, Susan Lynne Hamilton, Jenny Evans, and Christine Welter. I look forward to reading more articles from these Suite101 writers."
