“It goes to show what a democratic force technology has become to journalists around the world.”Ī group of 134 industry-leading journalists and new media professionals teamed up to screen 994 entries and select semi-finalists. “This year, judges were swayed less by bells and whistles that didn’t add to the content, and instead zeroed in on high-quality journalism that was able to take flight on digital platforms,” said Joshua Hatch, ONA Board member and Online Journalism Awards Committee Chair. A special committee will select the first recipient later in the year. ONA also debuts the James Foley Award for Conflict Reporting, which will honor one of the many journalists reporting under the most challenging conditions. New categories for 2015 include “Sports” and “Pro-Am” within the Student awards. These awards honor data journalism, visual digital storytelling, investigative journalism, public service, technical innovation and general excellence. Ten of the awards now come with $60,000 in prize money, courtesy of Knight Foundation, the Gannett Foundation and the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications. – Finalists for the 2015 Online Journalism Awards, representing a wide range of nonprofit, public, academic, major media, and emerging technology organizations from around the globe, were announced today by the Online News Association.
