The Online Journalism Awards: 2001 Winners & Finalists from the Online News Association and Columbia University. Slate received the top award for “general excellence in online journalism”. The BBC beat out the New York Times, the Washington Post and the WSJ Online. They mentioned some tidbits new to me, for example:

DigitalJournalist.org: 20 Years — AIDS & Photography:

A look at how AIDS has been documented by photographs.

Judges called this an outstanding creative use of the medium, a great piece of journalism that could only exist online. The cliché about a picture being worth 1,000 words was never more meaningful, said one judge. Another said, simply, “I was very, very moved by it.”
