Webby Awards

I’ve just been looking through the list of Webby Award winners to see if there was anything that SFAW should be reporting on. There wasn’t – the closest we came was Coraline being a nominee in the Movies category. It is interesting, however, to see the BBC and The Guardian picking up a bunch of awards. Journalism is definitely going international, and with so many US papers being so local, and the NYT shooting itself in the foot with the pay wall, British news sources seem to be doing rather well.

The other thing I want to highlight is the winner in the Science category, which is the Cassini Mission Website. It has certainly has some awesome material to post, and most of that material has been provided by the project’s imaging team, headed up by Carolyn Porco. Score one for my Ada Lovelace Day pick.
