In their latest Independent Press Awards, the staff of the Minnesota-based national magazine Utne Reader nominated the Washington Free Press and seven other publications in the US and Canada for "Best Local/Regional Coverage." Thanks, Utne, and we understand that Minnesota is cold and there's nothing much to do there in the winter besides reading thousands of magazines. But try to get out and enjoy some fresh air, OK?
