— The Denver Post (adhered to established privacy policy by not naming alleged rape victim even though competing media did)
— Jon Leiberman (special citation for speaking out when he disagreed with his employer, even at the risk of being fired)
— The State Press (the staff of the Arizona State University student newspaper worked well with administrators when they and alumni reacted to a photo accompanying a story)
