Our editorial partner, the Seattle Times, has won the Associated Press Managing Editors “Innovator of the Year” award. APME said the annual award recognized the Times’ social media efforts, as well as its partnerships with neighborhood blogs in the Network Journalism Project.

Next Door Media was among the first partners in the project, and we extend the Times and the other blog partners a hearty congratulations! It’s more evidence that Seattle is leading the way in innovation in local and hyperlocal news.
