NYTimes.com won the General Excellence award, Outstanding Use of Multiple Media for its "Class Matters" series, and Breaking News for "Asia's Deadly Waves," the Web site's coverage of the Indian Ocean Tsunami. A table filled with Times staffers celebrated the awards.
New West, a site that launched just eight months ago, won the General Excellence for small-category sites and an Enterprise award for its report, "
Sex, Money and Meth Addiction."
Among large sites, Slate.com's Seth Stevenson won in the Commentary category for his "Ad Report Card." Slate's Mickey Kaus won a special recognition for his "Kausfiles," and Slate took the large category Enterprise award for its series, "What is Torture?"
ONA leaders said at the dinner that the group had a great year, with membership climbing past 800.
E&P's Greg Mitchell was a finalist in the commentary category for medium-sized Web sites.
