Recognition for the CNN.com site and the new iReport.com site.
CNN received the award for finding new ways to gather and disseminate news and information, especially with its iReport initiative. iReport.com is the network’s first uncensored, unfiltered, unedited, user-generated online community. Its contributors receive recognition by having their material – once vetted and approved for use – appear on a CNN network or CNN.com. CNN has also created tools for sharing and tagging video, for commenting on the user-generated content and for viewing and rating videos across multiple categories.
