Tulsa-based digital newspaper The Frontier is in the running for a Scripps Howard award for its five-part series "Shadow Land: How rape stays hidden in Oklahoma".
The Frontier's year-long investigation uncovered "a war-within-a-war that requires some victims to fight for their own justice while government and private agencies fight for money, personnel and proven training methods to assist victims," Mary Hargrove and Kassie McClung report. "Victims can fall prey to overworked nurses, police and prosecutors in rural counties who do not have the time, training or manpower to thoroughly investigate. And their cases die."
The problems the project has uncovered in Oklahoma are applicable in most states, and so are the possible solutions, Hargrove and McClung report.
The other two finalists in the Community Journalism category are "Home Sick" by the Capital News Service in College Park, Md., and "Addicted at Birth" by the Bristol Herald Courier in Bristol, Va. All Scripps Howard winners will be announced today at 2 p.m.
