Cathy Frye, a staff writer with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, has won the American Society of Newspaper Editors Award for nondeadline writing for 2004.
Frye took first place in the category for her series, "Caught in the Web," which brought to light the risks of Internet chat rooms after the abduction and murder of 13-year-old Kacie Woody.
Frye, in her four-part series, "weaves the details of dogged reporting masterfully, pulling the reader through a journey despite a sense of dread about the ending," the judges said.
The four parts of the series are republished online below.
