FEATURE WRITING


For a distinguished example of feature writing giving prime consideration to high literary quality and originality, Five thousand dollars ($5,000).

Awarded to J. R. Moehringer of the Los Angeles Times for his portrait of Gee’s Bend, an isolated river community in Alabama where many descendants of slaves live, and how a proposed ferry to the mainland might change it.

Also nominated as finalists in this category were: David Finkel of The Washington Post for his moving account of a woman forced to choose between staying with her family in a Macedonian refugee camp, or leaving to marry a man in France, and Anne Hull of the St. Petersburg Times for her quietly powerful stories of Mexican women who come to work in North Carolina crab shacks, in pursuit of a better life.
