Bloggers Capture
National Journalism Awards in Costa Rica
By Joseph Vavrus
In a sign that digital and alternative media
are making important inroads, the Ministerio
de Cultura y Juventud (Ministry of Culture
and Youth) granted journalist Cristian
Cambronero the Pío Víquez National
Journalism Award, Jenny Cascante writes for
Global Voices Online.
Cambronero publishes Fusil de Chispas, a
four-year-old blog on national politics, web
culture, and entertainment.
Judges called his blog “a great example of
journalism 2.0 and the way it can draw
opinions and reactions from the web.”
The prize is one of 29 annual national
culture awards and one of two that goes to
journalists. Evelyn Ugalde won the Joaquín
García Monge National Award in cultural
journalism for her online literary magazine
Clube de Libros, Red Cultura adds.
