                      RECOGNIZING THE DAILY IOWAN

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Journalists, as we all know, serve as the watchdog for 
accountability, particularly to keep government responsible. These 
journalists inform and investigate issues important to their readers, 
from human interests to public interests. Right now, a lot of focus is 
upon the COVID-19 pandemic.
  The University of Iowa's independent newspaper, the Daily Iowan, has 
been named the ``Best All-Around Daily Student Newspaper'' by the 
Society of Professional Journalists. This prestigious honor follows its 
recognition as the 2020 ``Newspaper of the Year'' by the Iowa Newspaper 
Association.
  I come to the floor to commend the team of collegiate journalists in 
the student-run newsroom at the Daily Iowan. These awards show that the 
staff's hard work and commitment to their craft rise above the rest.
  You are the cream of the crop. Congratulations and keep up the good 
work.
  I yield the floor.
