NPPA: Best of Photojournalism 2007: Web Site Winners:

Honorable Mention

The Post-Crescent

A bunch of killer videos!

Comments (Josh Meltzer)

Some things we saw a lot of in this category and weren’t crazy about: unnecessary or too heavy of a reliance on music, and design that spawns multiple windows, making it tough to know where we were in the project.

1st: Frank Sandoval won because judges felt like it did the best job of telling a complete story with a very touching story line and good photography. A big weakness of the project for some judges (okay, that would be me), is the quality of the video work was very weak, especially in comparison to the strong still images.
2nd: In Jordan’s War, we liked that the personal story was combined with interesting interactive elements. It was a complete (if a little disjointed) package.
3rd: The Aids Orphans package had good design, some lovely photography and really interesting entry points into some of the individual stories. Using only the reporter’s voice and lack of any natural sound hurt the project.
HM: Real to reel had enjoyable, well-done stories on every month we checked. There was a creative approach to the stories that was refreshing. Regina McCombs
