Online Only Investigative Reporting Group Wins Investigative Reporting Award
from the who-says-you-can't-do-investigative-reporting-online dept
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 online only investigative reporting organizations. One of which was VoiceOfSanDiego.com — 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 won a top award in investigative reporting, the IRE 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.

I wonder which one of the funding business got investigated first?
Is that all you could come up with Harold??? Why not just yell “FIRST!!”
Is this the group Deb Nelson mentioned tonight on News Hour?
Yes, Voiceofsandiego is the news organization I mentioned on Lehrer. They’re doing some great stuff.
