We finally posted the writeup on how we did information.dk:

"TechPresident.com, a data-rich, nonpartisan group blog that covers real-time, online activity of the 2008 presidential candidates – and chronicles online content from voters who will elect them, is this year's $10,000 Grand Prize winner in the Knight-Batten Awards for Innovations in Journalism."

The Drupal driven OurTahoe.org and HoopGurlz are ONA Online Journalism Award Finalists in the student journalism and specialty journalism categories.

A total of 70 finalists ranging from small independent sites to some of the biggest brands in online news were selected from more than 700 entries. Winners in each of the 20 categories will be announced at the OJA Banquet during the 8th annual conference of the Online News Association (ONA), October 18 at the Sheraton Centre, Toronto.

We finally launched our main site on Drupal.

It'll be in beta for a few weeks, but it's basically done.

Our developer will do a write as soon as he gets some sleep :-)

The Drupal driven site TechPresident is a finalist is the J-Lab run Knight-Batten Award to spotlight the creative use of new information ideas and technologies to involve citizens in public issues. The grand prize winner will receive $10,000 and be announced September 17 at the National Press Club in Washington DC. Up to $5,000 in Special Distinction Awards will also be awarded.

My name is Olivier Bellin, and I live in Paris.

I'm an IT technology journalist and former chief editor of Computer Reseller News magazine in France (edited formerly by VNU, which created SVM and SVM Mac sites in Drupal already).

I'm planning on creating myself an IT BtoB news portal using a powerful CMS. After considering Joomla for a while, I found that Drupal is probably the best choice. I've now spent a few weeks on learning how Drupal works a bit better (I'm an user and not a programmer).

As promised, here's a brief description on how we plan to use Drupal to fit our needs at the Swedish popular science magazine Forskning & Framsteg.
Since we're not planning on lauching the site for some months, some things will of course change.

• The site is used to publish articles already written, so we'll only have a few users with publishing permission (site admin, editors and one or two semi-admins). The exception is blogs written by scientists, who will share a blogger user role.

Hi,

Firstly, the site I built using drupal: Cue Online

As some of you know, I work for the University of Nevada's Reynolds School of Journalism. I’ve been working with their graduate program to develop OurTahoe.org as well as individual graduate student projects looking at the new ways "Web2.0" technologies can be used by journalists. Some of the projects resulted in Drupal modules like Promise.

For those of you who haven't seen it yet, take a look at the gorgeous New York Observer site, that just relaunched on Drupal: http://www.observer.com

The fine people behind it did a very nice writeup in the showcase forum: http://drupal.org/node/141187
