After 1105 articles published by the IM network in September, the network followed with 1074 in October (but somehow made a whole lot more money! 
Of those 1074, I have scoured and searched (oh the drudgery of my job…reading great sustainability related articles, getting educated, having fun, and “meeting” our writers…whoa is me).
This month, special recognition to Tanya Sitton, writer at EatDrinkBetter, who garnered two nominations and two honorable mentions for excellent journalism, and David Arthur, Andrea Bertoli, and Chris Demorro, each nominated 2x! Way to go Tanya, David, and Chris!
And without further adieu, here are….
October’s nominees for the Pul-IM-zer prize for journalistic excellence in the IM network.
