KatrinaMedia.org Wins Webby Award

Date:
May 6, 2008

Katrina: An Unnatural Disaster was named the best nonprofit website of the year in the 12th Annual Webby Awards. OSI was chosen from nearly 10,000 entries from across the United States and more than 60 countries.

Katrina: An Unnatural Disaster features the Katrina Media Fellows' investigative reporting on the Hurricane's continuing devastation across the Gulf Coast. The site combines never-before-seen video, photography, print, and radio with previously published work to spark a national discussion on race, poverty, and government neglect.

A second OSI web production, Eyes on Zimababwe, was nominated for an award in the Public Service and Activism category. The site provides an inside look into Mugabe's repressive police state and the local struggle to promote democracy and end human rights abuses.
