In addition, WRN Managing Editor Douglas Fisher won second place in the headline writing category with a package of five headlines that appeared in 2011. They included: "Beer Go Flat? Recycle It;" "Iowa: Spread the sand, not the rumors;" "Shhh! Don't tell his wife, da Paz is married to the job;" "In Vermont, snow more tropical storms please;" and "Recycling old clichés: Fat Tony finds a haven at the Jersey shore."
The honors were part of the Detroit SPJ's 2011 Excellence in Journalism Awards, which are given annually to the best journalism from southeast Michigan-based publications. Waste & Recycling News was competing against daily newspapers with circulation of less than 100,000 and magazines and trade publications with circulations of less than 50,000.
