Best Use of Social Media for News
Over the past year the world has seen major news stories covered in real time using social media. Whether it's the Olympics, a revolution, or a natural disaster, social media brings us the news faster than ever before and helps connect us directly with primary sources through first-hand posts, photos, and videos. This award recognizes the most effective use of social media by a news organization. Submissions for both coverage of specific news events and for overall performance will be accepted.
