Last Thursday, 5 July, Transitions Online (TOL) (http://www.tol.cz/)
received the prestigious "Outstanding Contribution to Online Journalism
in Europe" award at the NetMedia 2001 conference. Other winners this year
include BBC News Online and Guardian Unlimited, and TOL is proud to be
included among such respected company. We are particularly grateful to
our network of correspondents spread across Central and Eastern
Europe, the Balkans, and the former Soviet Union, who have contributed
a much-needed local angle to issues of global importance and
skillfully presented their sometimes neglected countries to an
international audience.
Transitions Online--a leading Internet magazine covering Central and
Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and the former Soviet Union--is the
online successor to Transitions magazine. A Czech nonprofit dedicated
to strengthening independent journalism, TOL is based in Prague and
uses a network of local correspondents to provide unique,
cross-regional analysis. TOL serves as example for the regional
development of information societies that promote the use of new media
technologies.
NetMedia's European Online Journalism (EOJ) Awards
(http://www.net-media.co.uk/awards/) are an annual awards program to
recognize and reward excellence in online journalism. It was conceived
by journalists for journalists. The awards focus on online journalism,
that is, the practice of telling good stories using digital tools and
techniques in an online medium. This is the third year of the NetMedia
Online Journalism Awards. They were established in recognition of the
huge changes the Internet is making to journalism and the increasing
importance of electronic publishing in the lives of readers and
viewers.
This recognition coincides with TOL's two-year anniversary, and we
thank all our readers and funders for their support during that time.
