Norm Uhl, HISD
The life of a school-district flack can be frustrating: The media ignores all the "good" news you point them to, while constantly hounding you for more info on all the "bad" news they prefer to go with. Norm Uhl does a great job of being patient, returning phone calls and e-mails promptly, and getting answers almost as quickly as reporters would like. But here's the incredible thing: He's doing it at HISD. The same school district that flaunted its Stalinist attitude towards any media seeking to expose anything that wasn't the party line. Uhl, a former TV reporter for KHOU, is a refreshing change of pace.
