Knight-Batten Award Winners Announced

“Formulaic journalism on autopilot is dead,” said J-Lab director Jan Schaffer in yesterday’s announcement of the winners of this year’s Knight-Batten awards for innovation in journalism…

The $10,000 grand prize went to the Sunlight Foundation’s new Sunlight Live service, which blends data, streaming video, liveblogging, and social networking; and which debuted at February’s bipartisan healthcare summit.

Most of the other award-winning projects prominently featured public collaboration and crowdsourcing.
