  • Judges’ Comments – This piece offers a different angle on the widely reported devastation wrought by Hurricane Maria on Puerto Rico: the opportunity for the tourism industry to play a larger role in the economy. The reporter did a lot of legwork, and wisely ventured outside San Juan to interview B&B owners in other tourist destinations. Bravo on providing readers with relevant data and historical context.
