Online Journalism Awar Winner- Las Vegas Sun

The main thing that struck me at looking at the website of the Las Vegas News Sun is the amount of information they have posted on their front page. While some may consider it crammed, I see it as a very easy way to be able to view all the local news stories from the day in Las Vegas. I also enjoyed the interactivity of the site, from its blogs and comment section to the amount of video they link you too. For example, the UNLV football team had a big win over Arizona State Saturday and directly on their home page is a big video with highlights from the game. It is probably the one of the highest quality online highlight videos I have seen on a news site, and that includes ESPN. They also have links to videos from other sites, including a link directly to the NBC site for video of the Palin/Clinton SNL skit which many people will click on if they happened to miss it.
