So of course Baptist Press refused to run the story.

Last week, judges at the Baptist Communicators Association (BCA) awarded Chris Turner and Lonnie Wilkey the 1st Place award in Investigating Reporting.
It was a story that opened a lot of eyes. The title: ERLC Leaders Accused of 'Blatant Deception'" (link below).
Sadly, Baptist Press would not run the story. Several Baptist state papers picked it up and ran it. One friend was told by BP that the story “wasn’t news.” In a sense that's true, of course.
So, I am happy to see that the judges for BCA read and realized the importance of this story. Sadly, most Southern Baptists did not read it. And now you know the ... rest of the story.
The award-winning story is online here.
