The OJAs recognize major media, international and independent sites and individuals producing innovative work in digital storytelling. The OJA Committee and judges place special emphasis on entries that demonstrate mastery of the special characteristics and emerging technology of digital journalism.
Five of the awards come with $31,000 in prize money, courtesy of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication’s Agora Journalism Center, and the University of Florida. These awards honor data journalism, investigative journalism, public service, student journalism and community engagement.
The finalists and winners are selected through a two-step process. First, industry-leading journalists and digital media professionals screen the awards to determine semi-finalists. In August, a panel of judges convene to select winners.
We will celebrate winners on the final night of ONA20, the Online News Association Conference and Awards Ceremony, September 30–October 3, at the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta, Georgia.
