MMMQB Founder Wins Feature WritingAward

By encinoman

Journalist and writer Michael Goldstein, founder of MondayMorningMediaQuarterback, last night won first place for Feature/Commentary in the Los Angeles Press Club&;s 49th Annual Southern California Journalism Awards.  The award was for his LA Times West story, &;The Other Beating,&; about George Holliday, the man who videotaped the Rodney King beating, and what&;s become of him since his moment of fame. The citation read:

G2 Feature/Commentary  Michael Goldstein, LA Times West, &;The Other Beating&; Judges’ comment:  A chilling account made even more interesting by the twist of fate that brought George Holliday into the writer&;s life. Strong quotes and great insight into Holliday&;s character and journey made this a story we couldn&;t put aside. This is a story about a man thrust into history that had every chance of never being told, which makes it even more haunting.
