NAA announces Digital Edge Award winnersLawrence Journal-World, Knoxville News-Sentinel and the St. Pete Times' PolitiFact lead this year's winners.
Posted: 2008-02-25
The National Newspaper Association today announced the winners of its annual Digital Edge Awards, part of the NAA's Media Innovation Awards. The awards were presented during the NAA's Connections conference in Orlando, Fla.
The NAA awards are open to U.S. newspaper websites, and awards are given in three circulation categories, based on papers' print circulation. The Lawrence (Kansas) Journal-World, a multiple Edgie Award winner among small-circulation papers, continued its dominance in the awards, winning for best overall newspaper website, innovative storytelling and for best local guide in its circulation categories. E.W. Scripps' Knoxville (Tennessee) News-Sentinel won among the mid-sized newspapers, also earning Edgies for design and innovative visitor participation. Poynter's St. Petersburg Times and Congressional Quarterly won the large-paper award for best overall site for their PolitiFact project, a joint website where Times and CQ reporters fact-check claims made by U.S. presidential candidates. In addition to announcing the awards, the NAA released a report on the winners, with details and essays from the winning sites. It's a useful rubric for news site designers looking for inspiration to improve their online publications. Ironically, however, the report is in PDF format, most suitable for, well, printing. Here are this year's Edgie winners, in the editorial categories: Best Overall Newspaper Website Best Design and Site Architecture Most Innovative Multimedia Storytelling Most Innovative Use of Interactive Media Most Innovative Visitor Participation Best Local Guide or Entertainment Site
