Staff writers Josh Harkinson and Craig Malisow have been named finalists in the five-state Katie Awards competition sponsored by the Press Club of Dallas. The Houston Pressis also a finalist in the Best Special Interest Paper/Major Markets category.

Harkinson was recognized in the Government/Political Story category for "HCCS's Gift Basket," about questionable dealings among the members of the board of trustees and top administration of the Houston Community College System.
