This week the Online News Association announced it finalists for the online journalism awards to be held in September this year. Some of the nominees include National Public Radio’s coverage of the Arab Spring in the “community collaboration” category and Flipboard (for the iPad) and ScraperWiki in the technical innovation category.
I must admit that before this announcement I was unfamiliar with the Online News Association but apparently they are a non profit organisation with over 1600 members who aim to provide guidance to journalists working in an online environment through training, awards and community outreach programs.
Regardless it’s reassuring to know that organizations like this exist and that quality journalism in an online environment is recognised.
