Chronicle is only Calhoun County paper to win awards

The Marshall Chronicle is the only Calhoun County newspaper to garner awards in the Michigan Press Association's annual Better Newspaper Contest held each year during National Newspaper Week, Oct. 7-13. Editor Shelly Sulser clinched first place out of 10 entries for her Spot News Story on the police bust of a large drug ring that occurred when local, state and federal authorities wrapped their 18 month investigation by executing eight search warrants simultanously. And, Sports Reporter John Hendler took first place out of 21 entries for his Sports Feature on Marshall man Bill Welke, who works as a professional, Major League Baseball umpire.
