Being a Black Man was a unanimous choice for this category. Some of the other multimedia winners featured great storytelling, others featured awesome interactivity, but this project was chosen for its breadth of journalistic excellence, storytelling, thorough coverage and wonderful interactivity and user participation. It is the perfect story to tell through the web and was done in a most complete way.
Being a Black Man tackled a topic that so many organizations would be afraid to attempt or to do in full scope. The videos featured men and women from many walks of life that discussing both stereotypes and realities honestly and fully. The database of information was another selling point for this piece while the survey and corresponding statistical results allowed the reader to participate in the discussion in a private way, and discover how their own individual perceptions match with the average reader responses. The project also allowed the user to learn about the issue in manageable chunks and in a variety of mediums.
