Webby Award winners

Posted by scififan in World Wide Web

This year's Webby Award winners have been announced. You can find the full winners list here. I just chose a few of the award-winners and nominees in a few of the media-related categories, that might be of interest.

Guides: Yelp.com (Webby) CNet (People's Voice)

Humor: The Onion (Both)

Magazine: MediaStorm (Webby) Salon.com (People's Voice)

Music: Last.fm (Both)

News: BBC News (Both)

Newspaper: Guardian (Webby) NYTimes.com (People's Voice)

Television: Current.tv (Webby The Office (People's Voice)

For what it's worth, I think the Guardian is the best website of the lot. BloggersBlog.com has an entry about the blog-related winners here.

Hailed as the "Oscars of the Internet" by the New York Times, The Webby Awards is the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet, including Websites, Interactive Advertising, Online Film & Video, and Mobile Websites. The awards are judged by the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences, a global organization that includes David Bowie, Harvey Weinstein, Arianna Huffington, Matt Groening, Jamie Oliver, Internet inventor Vinton Cerf, and RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser.

Also, NPR podcasts won "Best Podcasts" from the Webby's and "Best Radio" in the public competition. Separately, the NPR on-air commentary, podcast and blog, "My Cancer," created and written by journalist Leroy Sievers, was named for a special Official Honoree recognition.

Winners will be recognized at a ceremony on June 5 in New York City. The list can be found here.
