Introduction
This compares the quality of the investigatory and local journalism contained in ―old media‖ with that contained in ―new media‖ by using the metrics the journalism industry itself uses. We ascertain which type of media has won most of the journalism awards in the years since these awards became open to the new media. To do this, we somewhat arbitrarily divided the media world into three categories: ―old,‖ ―new,‖ and ―hybrid.‖ It is admittedly extremely difficult to define ―old,‖ ―new,‖ and ―hybrid‖ types of media. Since the media sector is in flux, so too must be these definitions. Moreover, many media operations are difficult to classify. With these caveats, the ―new‖ media is the easiest to define. If a publication started online and remains online, we classify it as ―new‖ media. ―Old‖ media is difficult to define because there currently are very few newspapers, for example, that would correspond to the newspapers that existed a generation ago. Most of the traditional ―old‖ media has an online presence today. Most newspapers, including the Washington Post and the New York Times, for example, have an online version that frequently contains everything in its print edition, as well as supplemental material of a varied nature. We define these combinations of traditional hard-copy publications and their online presence as ―old‖ media even though they could not have existed a generation ago, and even if their online versions contain features commonly associated with ―new‖ media, such as videos and live chats with reporters. ―Hybrid‖ media are publications that are between new and old media in one of several ways, or are aggregations of them. Hybrid media includes four subtypes. First, hybrid media includes the convergence of old and new media. Hybrid media is the near-to or actual simultaneous use of old and new media to disseminate information. For example, hybrid media includes a print article that cites and uses an online database released concurrently with the print story. However, if the print article is the gravamen of a publication‘s efforts followed up with supplementary information online, this will be classified as old media. The converse will be classified as new media. Second, hybrid media includes a publication‘s use of both old and new media to disseminate information. The use of both media types should be near-to or approximately equal—one form, new or old, should not dominate the mode of dissemination. Third, hybrid media includes awards where the award judges mention an online or new media component as part of its decision in addition to a print source. Finally, hybrid media includes cases where an old media source and a new media source team up for a journalistic enterprise.2 For example,
2. It can be very difficult and arbitrary to classify certain sources, particularly those that we would define as hybrid sources. For example, Bloomberg would have been classified as an old media source, but its shift to a more interactive platform with the use of its subscription web-based terminal makes it more like a hybrid source. By contacting authors of the respective Bloomberg articles, we have concluded that articles not printed solely in the Bloomberg Business Week Magazine should be considered a hybrid source. In an email, Dan Golden stated that his article series ―ran on the Bloomberg terminal and web site. In addition, several of the major features . . . were published in print form in the magazine Bloomberg Business Week.‖ E-mail from Daniel Golden, Bloomberg News, to author (July 10, 2013, 09:11 EST) (on file with author). Another author, Janet Lorin, wrote that ―most of the stories were online only though some were also in Bloomberg Businessweek.‖ Email from Janet Lorin, Bloomberg News, to author (July 10, 2013, 06:43 EST) (on file with author). The other authors did not respond. Based on the responses we received, Bloomberg would be considered a very complex hybrid organization, with elements of both old and new media.

Every winner was an old media source—either a traditional newspaper or the Associate Press, except for two old/new hybrid winners (see Table I infra).

To Whom it May Concern:
I am writing on behalf of ASJA regarding the Don Robinson and Outstanding Article awards. I spoke with our executive director, Alexandra Owens, about online content and she said that we do not have an exact date on record of when online content became eligible. She said it was roughly ten years ago, when we had the first ASJA member submit online content. We have always considered online content to be of equal merit to print media. Please feel free to call us with any questions.
Best,

Peter O.E. Bekker Sent: Wed 7/28/2010 7:38 PM From: [[email protected]] To: Isaac L Maron Cc: Subject: RE: NYPC WEB SITE INQUIRY Hi Isaac,
Looking at your message again, I now think that what you want to know is this:
―New media‖ competes directly with traditional print media in only two of the New York Press Club‘s awards:
The Gold Keyboard Award (our top honor) for investigative journalism.
The Nellie Bly Cub Reporter Award - best work from an individual in the profession for three years or less.
Each of those awards has only one winner per year, chosen from material submitted in all mediums.
Our other ―all media‖ awards are structured so that outlets compete with others in their media category. This means there are six potential winners in each of the ―all media‖ categories: e.g., Business/Newspaper, Business/Newswire, Business/Magazine, Business/Radio, Business/TV and Business/Internet. And so on.
The answer to your second question is: new media have ALWAYS been eligible to compete. They just needed to be invented prior to submitting entries.
Same answer as before for blogs: we include ‗em.
Best, p e t e r o.e. b e k k e r | The New York Press Club | 212-831-5836
Award: Grantham Prize for Excellence in Reporting on the Environment Criteria: The Grantham Prize is awarded annually to recognize and honor the work of one journalist or team of journalists for exemplary reporting on the environment. The Prize is awarded to nonfiction work originally produced in the U.S. or Canada during the previous calendar year in newspapers, magazines, and books and on television, cable, radio, and the 2013] SHOULD THE INTERNET EXEMPT THE MEDIA SECTOR FROM ANTITRUST LAWS? 15

Dear Isaac,
Since our award is rooted in print journalism, we became open to online submissions as they emerged as a major source of news.
In terms of working with essentially web-centered material, there are these landmarks: Dahr Jamail ‗s Iraq reporting appeared online in significant part and won a reporting award in 2005;
in that same year, we made an award to our first blogger and explicitly noted that we were recognizing blogging as a significant extension of journalism. We gave a prize to Juan Cole for his log Informed Comment. For 2008, we defined Danny Schechter as a blogger, although he had run a media critical website before that. I can‘t say, however, that we annually make a blogging award.
In 2003, recognizing the capacities of the web, we made our ―Cartooning with a Conscience Award‖ to Mark Fiore for his Web animations. (We were seven years ahead of the Pulitzer on this!)
Hope this helps. Thanks for your interest.
Peter
Award: John B. Oakes Award
