The New York Times won the category in Large Sites for breaking news. According to The Online News Association, "The winner 'hit it out of the park.' The winner could have held the story but chose not to.”
The New York Times was able to break the story with through tips and keen reporting when they learned the unusual presence of lawyers and an FBI agent in a federal district court in Manhattan. But what was particularly unique was they broke the story on the web instead of holding it and continually updated it throughout the day while no one else had anything.
On the website, they included video, timeline and also provided answers on how they broke the story through a Q&A through their metro blog which provided a platform for users to comment and ask questions.
