Bay Citizen's Bike Accident Tracker Honored by Knight Batten awards 2011!


The Bay Citizen's News Apps team has won a prize at the Knight Batten awards for innovation in journalism for our Bike Accident Tracker!

Today's big winner was Storify, the social-media curation tool created by Hacks/Hacker's Burt Herman and others. Our partner site Texas Tribune, NPR's Andy Carvin and his Twitter communityBloomberg Government and West Africa Democracy Radio also received prizes.

The Bay Citizen was one of another four outlets to receive an honorable mention and a prize at a seminar at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. in September.

This year’s winners were selected from 123 entries.

"This year's innovations demonstrate how journalists keep developing clever ways to open up the process of journalism to new contributors and seekers of information," said Jose Zamora, Knight Foundation journalism program associate.

In previous years, the Knight Battens have rewarded innovative sites such as ProPublica or Ushahidi.
