The Media Excellence Committee has been hard at work narrowing down all private media releases from the period of June 1st to September 30 to the Top Five (there was actually a tie, so we have a Top Six!), through a nomination and voting process that we hoped would determine the best of the best. Thank you to all committee members for their work this week in making this happen. And now, without further ado, here are the winners, in reverse order!
