  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a number of news 
publications in my district whose efforts to uphold the highest 
principles of journalism were recently recognized by the Illinois Press 
Association at its annual awards ceremony.
  First place winners in both large and small weekly newspaper 
divisions cover portions of my district. The Southtown Economist of 
Chicago was named best large daily newspaper in the State. Press 
Publications of Elmhurst, IL took first place in the large weekly 
category and The Regional News of Palos Heights, IL was the winner in 
the small weekly category. These newspapers also won other numerous 
awards.
  Other first place winners from my district included the Star 
newspaper of Chicago Heights, IL, which was honored for newspaper 
design and spot news photography, and The Doings of Hinsdale, IL which 
was recognized for an indepth report on the teardown of homes in its 
community.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate these newspapers and their hard-working 
journalists on earning these prestigious honors.
