Best of online journalism: from D.C. to Middletown

"Fixing
D.C. Schools" is the kind of project I still remember seeing for the
first time on Washington Post.com. It
covered every aspect of the public schools in D.C., from the maintenance of the school halls
to student scores. It told stories
across the multimedia platforms.
No surprise it won the Knight Award for Public Service during
the Online Journalism Awards.
See the awards
site for the complete list of winners, then linger for a while to marvel at
some inspiring work, including "I Didn't Do
Murder," by the RecordOnline.com,
from The Times Herald Record (Middletown, N.Y.), which won best investigative
piece for a small site.
Let
these influence your next project.
Better yet, show them to your editor.
This is the kind of work we should be striving to produce in the digital
age.
