From a Central American Bagel Shop to Journalist of the Year

The San Diego Journalist of the Year has been announced. Morgan Cook, an investigative reporter with the Union-Tribune, will be feted later this year  at the 2017 banquet of the local chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) for her dogged work:

Cook’s first story came last April after she found a letter posted by the Federal Election Commission questioning Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Alpine, for using campaign funds to pay for video games. Cook then wrote about Hunter’s other questionable self-reported expenses that he claimed were mistakes–items such as oral surgery, private school tuition and a garage door.
