<description><![CDATA[ We still haven't quite figured out why some newspaper folks insist that you need print newspapers to do investigative reporting.  A few weeks ago, we noted that there were a growing number of quite successful <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090317/0312314149.shtml">online only investigative reporting</a> organizations.  One of which was <a href="http://www.voiceofsandiego.org/">VoiceOfSanDiego.com</a> -- funded by a bunch of local businesses who felt there wasn't enough local investigative reporting in San Diego.  Now Nick writes in to let us know that VoiceOfSanDiego.com has <a href="http://www.ire.org/resourcecenter/view.php?number=23916" target="_new">won a top award</a> in investigative reporting, the <a href="http://www.ire.org/resourcecenter/contest/index.html">IRE</a> or Investigative Reporters and Editors award.  The award was for online investigative reporting, but it clearly wasn't limited to just online-only publications, since at least one traditional newspaper was included in the finalists.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090405/2125504401.shtml">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090405/2125504401.shtml#comments">Comments</a> | <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090405/2125504401.shtml?op=sharethis">Email This Story</a><br />
