Congratulations, Jesse! Well deserved. I don’t see you staying in our small market very long, but I’m enjoying it while it lasts.
Matt Tait was a finalist in Jesse’s category: we are digitally spoiled, people…

Low flipping five.
Inbetween flipping five.
I love being vindicated.
But you were the one that put his career posterior on the line and did it the right way.

And there is so much more to be done.
The technology keeps calling “NEXT!”

Is Eppy short for epinephrine?

@wissoxfan83 JNew gets the interactive age means information flows in all directions; this is what all journalists are in the process of learning, or being left behind for not learning.
Reporting is now about reporting the inter connectivity of sport. Thus Newell Live is the ultimate organic form of interactive sports journalism, at the core of the Newell Blog. The blog incorporates everything interactivity allows. Live connects it all in the moment of an event. The event including performer, journalists and fans is an interactive phenomenon in real time in Newell Live. He simultaneously reports, moderates, Opines and elicits opinion, links and analysis from fans. It is like all really new things done we. It is pulling so much together so seamlessly on so many levels it is both marvelous and not yet apparent.
JNEW is NEW.
Others are doing it, but he gets it. He keeps adding and subtracting according to the right theme. He is breaking down barriers in non-interactive journalism to forge interactive sports journalism. He (and we) are making this thing up as we go. He doesn’t have a map and set of directions he has a compass and a direction and he is mapping as he goes.
What he is doing here is putting on an interactive “moveable feast.”
I am just so grateful his colleagues have the generosity of spirit to recognize him for it.
Rock Chalk!
Go, @Jesse-Newell , go!!!

@jaybate-1.0 Me thinks the Eppy officials missed a golden opportunity by not asking you to write the citation to accompany the award. But then again, it’s possible they’ve seen some of your writings and after careful thought reached the conclusion that you would be terribly handicapped by the small space allowed for comments. (attempted jocularity, no malice intended)
@Jesse-Newell Congrat Jesse. Well done.
