EDIT PICK
BEST NEWS REPORTER/ COUNTY OFFICIAL
Wendy Osher
Most people know Osher as the Pacific Radio Group News Director. She’s the calm, reassuring voice on all sorts of Maui radio stations who offers news bites, road closure information and critical updates on earthquakes, fires and tsunami warnings—all stories that require her to gather information from county fire officials. But as of this spring, she began a five-year term as a Maui County Fire Commissioner. As a fire commissioner, Osher enjoys oversight over the very fire officials she interviews as part of her news job. Now most—and by “most,” we mean “99.999999 percent”—of reporters, editors and media analysts around the world would call that a conflict of interest, but not Osher. (AP)
