Go Behind the Winning Entries
You asked, we delivered. We’ve brought back the report that goes behind the Digital Edge Awards and includes the original winning entries from the 2008 Digital Edge Awards.
The report, “Behind the Winning Entries: Media Innovation Awards-Digital Edge Categories,” will be available at www.naa.org/digitaledge on Monday, Feb. 25, the day NAA’s Digital Media Federation announces the “Edgie” Award winners.
The Online Community Cookbook
Also on Monday, we’ll release the first section of our Online Community Cookbook. The Online Community Cookbook, by Rich Gordon of the Medill School, Northwestern University and of the Media Management Center, ties together developments in social networking, online communities and newspaper Web sites. The Cookbook provides a structured approach to understanding online communities and a step-by-step guide to building and sustaining them successfully in local markets. The Cookbook will be available at www.naa.org/digitaledge/cookbook. Section 2 is coming March 3, and section 3 will be available March 10.
