S.F. Reporter Recipient of Selden Ring Award
Candy J. Cooper, a general assignment reporter for the San Francisco Examiner, on Wednesday was named recipient of the 1991 Selden Ring Award for Investigative Reporting.
Cooper will receive $25,000 for an investigative series last September that showed how the rapes of poor women with previous drug or criminal records had gone uninvestigated in the city of Oakland.
The Selden Ring Award, administered by the USC School of Journalism, is given to magazine or newspaper journalists who exposed and corrected a major wrong or caused people to come to grips with a major problem facing society.
