I’m biased, because I did submit some work this year from Coastsider that I’m particularly proud of.

But when I’m competing in the “small” category with LJWorld.com and the company formerly known as Knight-Ridder (Good Morning Silicon Valley), I feel like a chump for signing the check on my entry fee. Everybody loves Lawrence. But a lot of important work is happening in citizen journalism and the OJA is MIA for yet another year.

When there’s little understanding of how the online world works, when it is seen only as another way to deliver content, then the mainstream’s efforts will continue to dominate. If anything, the OJA awards could start to open up new categories to include outstanding efforts in new media.

Yeah, sure…there must be something other than coffee in my coffee today….;-)
