The conference of the Online News Association climaxed on Friday night with the awards ceremony. USAToday was the overall winner for general excellence as the judges were impressed how it had moved to put its audience at “the centre of news, not just at the receiving end”.
One of the most interesting aspects of the awards was how blogs won many of the 20 categories.
Blogs won in:
- Online commentary (large): Slate, William Saletan
- Online commentary (small): NewWest.net - Wild Bill
- Investigative journalism: ABC’s The Blotter
- Beat reporting (large): Wired.com, Defense
- Beat reporting (small): Florida Today - Space Beat
Hopefully this will help to end the fruitless arguments over whether blogging has a place in journalism. These examples illustrate how blogs can be journalism.
