7th Annual APME Online Convergence Awards
April 29, 2008 · · 1 Comment
The 2008 APME Online Convergence Awards recognize Associated Press or Canadian Press member newspapers and their online partners for the effective interplay between a story in print and the same story online.
These awards recognize print-online combinations that exhibit the best applications of both in presenting the story. The article can be on any topic – an in-depth investigation, a breaking story, a feature story, a profile. Innovative projects where the print and online components complement and enhance each other will earn the highest marks. Judges will rate the Web package on an effective and imaginative use of the medium.
Nominations may be made by a newspaper itself or its online partner for work published between July 1, 2007 and May 31, 2008.
There shall be three awards: one for newspapers with average daily circulation to 39,999; one for newspapers with average daily circulation of 40,000 to 149,999; another for newspapers of 150,000 average daily circulation or more, according to the latest audited figures. APME reserves the right to decline to award a winner in any category.
