BondGraham’s June 26 cover story revealed that the UC Regents approved a new corporate entity earlier this year that will likely give a group of well-connected private businesspeople control over publicly funded academic research. And Cushing’s March 20 cover story explored how the growth of the Bay Area’s tech industry has impacted the region’s arts and cultural landscape.

The Express was the only alternative newsweekly to win awards in this year’s SPJ Norcal contest, which is considered to be the premiere journalism competition in the Bay Area. Click here for the full list of winners.
