- “Hurricanne Katrina: A year after the heartbreak”
- The Dallas Morning News
In 2005, photographers from The Dallas Morning News covered the impact of Hurricane Katrina extensively. In the year after the storm, those same photographers continued their commitment to telling the stories of the storm's victims and its after effects. This website uses still photos, audio, and video to chronicle the first year "After The Heartbreak."

Only a first and second in this category. The first place piece was a clear winner with a fantastic use of cutting edge technology to tell and deliver the story in various ways in multiple formats. The judges felt that the quality of the rest of the work wasn't at the same level of what we had experienced in the previous categories to award a third place or HM. There were only five entries.
Second place was a pinnacle in narrative story-telling, with clean design, and there was some discussion about putting it in first place. The judges felt, however, that the first place entry from MSNBC did more to advance the story of Katrina than the Dallas Morning News piece.
Nothing here actually accomplished what it set out to do. Really great photos, but the audio in these pieces did not help. These entries would make great photo gallery entries.
