Young journo prize

The Livingston Awards for Young Journalists bestow $10,000 each on three journos under age 35, judged by a panel that includes Dean Baquet of the Los Angeles Times, Tom Brokaw and others. One of the winners announced today is local. Peter Zuckerman covers entertainment for the Los Angeles Daily Journal but won for a series on Boy Scouts and child molesters he wrote last year for the Idaho Falls Post Register.
