And we are honored to share this nifty piece of news with you — paidContent.org was recognized in Berlin Saturday by The BOBs as the best English-language blog. A 13-person jury selects the winners of Deutsche Welle’s Best of the Blogs; U.S. jurors were Lisa Stone and Mark Glaser. paidContent.org was selected from a pool of 10, including Huffington Post and Fistful of Euros. The jury’s verdict: “If only all industries were covered as exhaustively as Paidcontent.org covers for-profit media,” said US jury member Lisa Stone. “Nobody — no newspaper, program or Web site, indeed few analysts — covers the space as well as the paidContent.org team.”
The top user votegetter was Black Looks. The Sunlight Foundation, which relies on distributed journalism and volunteers to spotlight government behavior, won Best Weblog, the first time in the competition’s three years that an American blog has been so honored. Other winners included Persian-language blogs Kosoof and Tanine Sakut, Reporters Without Borders Award. We’ll point to the full list once it’s up. (Thank you to Tobias Schwarz for the heads up and to Felix Schwenzel for blogging the awards live in German.)
