After small web sites didn't receive a single nomination in last year's Online Journalism Awards, Robin Miller of Slashdot is offering to pay the $100 entry fee for five of the best examples of small-site journalism published since July 2000. Who deserves the money?
People are probably sick of hearing me cheerlead for him, but Glenn MacDonald's The War Against Silence still remains some of the finest music writing--hell, any writing--found on the web. And he just does it because he likes to. "Online Commentary," I guess, would be the aptest category.

I know this is heretical, but I almost never read Slashdot, so I never have cause to link to it, except now: Every blogger with time on his or her hands in August should sign up to be a screener. According to the rules, one sends a snatchmail to info@OnlineJournalismAwards.org “detailing your experience, your affiliation, etc.” (Evidently screeners are themselves screened.)
I don't know if I want to screen or enter.

You know there's an argument to be made for that...
Perhaps this would be buoyed by Megnut's upcoming lecture about "Weblogs as Peer-to-Peer Journalism"?
