  • Check out these winners, especially Sunlight's coverage of the healthcare summit and ProPublica's citizen reporting project.

    "Sunlight Live attracted nearly 43,000 viewers, 9,800 livebloggers, and more than 1,300 tweets…. They showed how to add journalistic punch to a carefully orchestrated government event, adding context and insight to the proceedings.. they go a step beyond to make it fun and engaging, creating a social experience around the event.”

    ProPublica’s Distributed Reporting: "This investigative news site is systematizing the process of crowdsourcing, conducting experiments, polishing their process, and tasking citizens with serious assignments. Its more than 5,000 Reporting Network members have conducted spot checks on federal stimulus spending, unraveled loan modification stories, and tracked the oversight of state nursing boards, among other efforts. “This is a major step forward with how we understand crowdsourcing,” the judges said."
