Seattle Times Wins National Press Club Award

July 14, 2010 -- The Wall Street Journal won two awards and the Miami Herald and Seattle Times won one apiece in the annual National Press Club journalism awards. PBS's Frontline was among the broadcast winners. Judges also recognized several non-traditional journalism outlets, such as ClimateWire.

"Despite layoffs and cutbacks, the annual National Press Club awards show that outstanding journalism is alive and well," said National Press Club President Alan Bjerga, a reporter for Bloomberg News. "Whether through print, broadcast or online, journalists continue to produce excellent reports, enhancing the public's knowledge of important issues."

The Seattle Times won the Friedenberg Online Journalism Award for its multimedia coverage of the killings of four police officers. The Times did what everyone says newspapers are supposed to be doing to survive in its multimedia coverage of the killings of four police officers. The print stories were supplemented with video, photos, and applications such as Google Wave and Dipity mapping. Live updates were sent out via Twitter.
