The St. Augustine Record won seven awards in the 2008 Florida Society of Newspaper Editors competition.

Margo C. Pope, opinion editor, won first place for editorials.

The judges said her editorials were "clear" with "well supported arguments on important local issues."

Pope is a long-time Record employee who started her career as a correspondent for St. Joseph Academy when she was a student there. She has served as a reporter and editor at the Florida Times-Union and as managing editor and associate editor at The Record before being named to her present position in 2006.

Paulette Perhach, a reporter and former editor of Drift Magazine, won second place for innovation for Drift Magazine, a publication that she started last year. It targets young readers and is available in racks free of charge around St. Augustine. She also won second place for features and arts writing.

Perhach left the newspaper in May to join the Peace Corps, and she is teaching computer skills in Paraguay. Her blog about her life there is on www.staugustine.com.
