- There are no journalism awards won to date.
Press Council Rulings
Press councils are national institutions of media self-regulation. Press councils have their own defined press code.

For each reprimand issued by a national press council, a source receives one minus point.
- There have been no press council rulings against the source to date.

- The Colorado Rockies have fired long-time manager Bud Black and replaced him with third-base coach Warren Schaeffer, who will manage the team for the remainder of the season.
- This decision follows a disastrous 6-33 start, marking one of the worst beginnings in MLB history.
- Additionally, Mike Redmond has been dismissed as bench coach, with former manager Clint Hurdle taking over the position.
- Owner Dick Monfort stated that these changes are necessary to improve performance and realign the organization for the future.
"Our play so far this season, especially coming off the last two seasons, has been unacceptable. Our fans deserve better, and we are capable of better."— Rockies owner and CEO Dick Monfort said in a statement released by the team.
