Possible Online Commentary For Online Journalism Awards

Our Own Semi-Finalist List

Last week, we sought input on potential Portland Communique entries to the Online Journalism Awards, including for the Online Commentary category for which entrants can submit up to five examples.

What follows is our own initial look at possible entries for that category, taken from material posted here between July 1, 2004, and June 30, 2005. We cast a wide net in this first pass, pretty likely including some posts which don't fit, on the assumption that it was better to start with a large set and whittle it down.

Our readers, of course, continue to be invited to dig up their own picks, since in addition to material we selected here that should not have been, there might be material from that time period that didn't make it into our own "semi-finalist" list.
