USAToday, DenverPost win Online Journalism Awards
Cory Bergman October 19th, 2007
The winners have just been announced at the Online News Association conference in Toronto, and the revamped USAToday.com won the Online Journalism Award for general excellence, large site. The judges “decided to honor a site that made a huge leap in the last year who made a commitment to put the readers at the center of the news, not just at the receiving end,” emcee Ruth Gersh said. DenverPost.com won general excellence for medium site, and the VenturaCountyStar won for small site (edging out my own KING5.com, shucks.) The WashingtonPost.com’s OnBeing project won a special OJA for innovation, and ABCNews.com’s Brian Ross won an award in the investigative journalism category for their Mark Foley story. Lots more winners here, and congrats everyone!

The USATODAY.com win should be a MAJOR wake-up call across Gannett. With Gannett now belatedly starting a Digital Division, this win heralds the emergence of new “new media” stars in the company. In fact, to go along with other posts on this board, you’re about to see a new “new media” guard rise up to challenge the old new media guard. The fallout from this should be interesting. One prediction: fewer maverick “go our own way” moves will be allowed for the Gannett “newcomers” in the Southwest.
