LI Now wins Best News Blog PCLI award

I’m proud to share that my newsday.com/towns team won first place for Best New Blog at the 2011 Press Club of Long Island Media Awards dinner on June 9.

Contributors to the blog, Long Island Now, during 2010, which is when the blog posts we submitted ran, included Erin Geismar, T.C. McCarthy and Josh Stewart, as well as Long Island Desk reporters such as Patrick Whittle.

The recognition tells us we’re going in the right direction with our aim to deliver creative, compelling community news content with a multimedia bent. From stand-up videos from the field sent from our mobile devices, to effectively using social media to share and solicit information, to great writing and video storytelling, we’ve done it all.

And, best of all, we’re having fun doing it.

Thanks to our editors for giving us the freedom to try anything we’ve thrown at them.

Here’s PCLI’s complete list of winners.
