Now I'm a "two-time" winner of the best regional news site award
I was stoked to learn that I (on behalf of my station) won the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award from the Radio-Television News Directors Association. This is the second year in a row we've recieved the honor on behalf of small-market stations for Guam, Hawaii, Nevada and California.
That we're the smallest of those - about a market size of 155,000 people locally, with about 10% more than that number accessing us throughout the world - and have gotten the nod twice means a lot. We're also proud to not rely on vendor CMS software or solutions from third-parties, doing 99% of the development work in-house. Nearly everything we do is homegrown.
We've always staked our claim on well-written, weel-associated, properly-indexed textual stories, coupled with high-quality streaming media presentations of our newscasts and radio programming. But in 2004, our big push was performance, syndication, caching, and multiplatform access through SMS, e-mail, and WAP. In 2005, my main theme in distributing our news was audio/video podcasting, VOD, public APIs to access our headlines and exploring all sorts of ways to syndicate content through RSS/Atom.
I'm enjoying this for the moment and then getting back to work!

"Most of us serve our ideals by fits and starts. The person who makes a success of living is one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That's dedication."
- Cecil B. DeMille
Congrats on the award, Jason! You deserve it!
