MSNBC edged out Camas Magazine in the National Press Club's competition for "Online Journalism--Best Site."
National Press Club Honors Camas Magazine
For the third time in recent weeks, Camas Magazine has been singled out for professional recognition for coverage of River Park Square. The latest citation comes from the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
In a June 25 announcement, the Press Club reported that Camas had placed second to media giant MSNBC in the "Online Journalism-Best Site" competition. Camas was awarded Honorable Mention. (Only First Place and Honorable Mention were cited.)
In describing the judging criteria for this entry, the Press Club wrote:
"This award honors the best journalistic use of the online medium. It will go to the website most useful to reporters in doing their jobs; that best demonstrates a significant contribution to the benefit of the public through the use of online technology. The site must be developed, created or maintained by a working journalist or a journalism organization and demonstrate the best use of the new media to educate and inform the public, as well as breaking new ground, going beyond what can be found in the print, magazine and television media. It should contribute to public awareness of a significant problem and it should include original reporting or add value to widely available information."
In notifying Camas by phone of its award, Press Club President John Aubuchon said, "You should be very proud. You had stiff competition."
