DataGlyphics Client Site Nominated for 2003 Webby Award
4/22/2003
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – DataGlyphics Inc., a St. Petersburg-based Web development firm, today announced that a leading feature of its client, The Poynter Institute, has been nominated for a 2003 Webby Award. Winners will be announced June 5, 2003.
"We're competing against some other giant names in the News category – MSNBC, Google News, BBC and others – and I feel this recognition is quite an honor for the development teams at DataGlyphics and The Poynter Institute," said William H. Stover, Jr., CEO of DataGlyphics. "DataGlyphics and Poynter (http://www.poynter.org) recently redeveloped and re-launched this site, and to be nominated for a Webby Award lends tremendous validation to the work and specifically the content of the ROMENESKO feature (http://www.poynter.org/medianews)."
ROMENESKO is a Weblog produced by Jim Romenesko, a veteran journalist and media critic who tracks developments in the world of journalism and posts them to his page on the Poynter site.
"Romenesko is our most popular feature," said Bill Mitchell, editor of Poynter Online, a Web-based resource for journalists around the country. "If you want to know what's happening in journalism on a day-by-day, hour-by-hour basis, Jim is really the only game in town."
The Webby Award nominees were selected by Members of The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences and were evaluated against six criteria – content, structure and navigation, visual design, functionality, interactivity and overall experience.
About The Poynter Institute
The Poynter Institute is a school dedicated to teaching and inspiring journalists and media leaders. It promotes excellence and integrity in the practice of craft and in the practical leadership of successful businesses. It stands for a journalism that informs citizens and enlightens public discourse. The late Nelson Poynter, who died in 1978, founded the Institute in 1975 as a school to further his goals and values. As publisher of the St. Petersburg Times, he insisted on excellence, editorial integrity, and independent ownership. Poynter willed the controlling stock of the Times Publishing Company to the Institute to assure its continued independence after his death, and to commit the publishing company’s dividends to elevate the standards of journalism through training and research.
