...Jones, the director of Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics, and Public Policy, awarded the third annual David Nyhan Prize for Political Journalism to Washington Post reporter Dana Priest.

But while it's easy to see that logic - and to point fingers at the very victims of the fires - this week it's impossible not to focus more on the terror and worry of those whose homes are at risk, like Lee Hamilton.
