I'm so honored to report that HeraldTribune.com is a nominee for two very important EPpy awards. Here are the specifics:
Best Newspaper-Affiliated Web Site, fewer than 1 million unique monthly visitors
BoomerGirl.com (The World Company)
HeraldTribune.com
PilotOnline.com and HamptonRoads.com
Best News Web Site, fewer than 1 million unique monthly visitors
Arizona Daily Star's StarNet
asap (The Associated Press)
HeraldTribune.com
PilotOnline.com
This is the second consecutive year HeraldTribune.com has been nominated for Best Newspaper Web Site.
Oftentimes, nominations are announced and folks learn little about why judges felt the site was deserving. The nice thing about traditional print contests is we can just go read the story or series being recognized. That's not possible in these categories.
To help combat that, starting tomorrow, I'm going to highlight projects each day that were mentioned in the nomination letter. I don't know which of our projects might have impressed judges, but it should help add perspective.
Again, we're all grateful just to be nominated among such a great crowd, especially two years in a row. Congratulations to our Web team and to the entire newsroom, which helps ensure excellent journalism happens online every day.

Am I the only one who notices the irony in the announcement story?

It is funny that there are no links, Bryan, I agree. I didn't even think about it when writing this post. Just linked.
