For the second straight year — and the fourth time overall — The Salt Lake Tribune’s Peggy Fletcher Stack has been named the nation’s top religion reporter among midsize newspapers.
Stack earned the Religion News Association’s 2018 Cornell Award for her stories about a new Catholic bishop who is bringing diversity and dynamism to the Salt Lake City diocese, a former Mormon temple architect and lay leader who is building a new life as a woman, and how Utah Christians balance the pain of a loved one’s violent death with the promise of Easter.
