Bangladesh boat project bags Sony
on 15 May 2008
The
BBC Bangladesh Boat Project has won the
Sony Multiplatorm Radio journalism award. Ben Sutherland, one of the reporters on the project, writes about the experience for the
BBC Editor's Blog. He says it wasn't just the amazing stories they helped tell, it was how they told them,
Not only was the method of getting these stories remarkable, but so was our way of getting it out.
We weren't just using tri-media, and we weren't just World Service. We were on Radio 5 Live, News 24, Radio Scotland - and on Twitter, iTunes, Google.
In the words of the judges, "it embraced everything from podcasts to GPS and Googlemaps to add value to the listener/user experience and met those listeners where they really lived using third party sites such as Flickr." link
