Anjeanette Damon, a Reynold School of Journalism graduate and instructor, was named last week as one of the Best State-Based Political Reporters in the country by the Washington Post for her work at the Reno Gazette-Journal.

"One of Anjeanette's biggest strengths is that she reports and writes with her readers in mind, not the politicians," said Beryl Love, editor of the RGJ. "She's not afraid to asks the questions that are on the minds of everyday people in Northern Nevada."

In addition, Damon and Kelly Scott, an RSJ instructor and breaking news editor of the RGJ, each received a Gannett Chairman's Award last week. Love said the award, distributed to 120 employees annually across all Gannett divisions, is for leadership and excelling within your job and beyond.
