'Living in the Shadows' wins 'Best of the Best' award at SABEW

Earlier this month I was delighted to announce that "Living in the Shadows," the multimedia story on China's internal migrants I produced for Sharron Lovell, was named among the winners in The Society of American Business Editors and Writers annual Best in Business Journalism competition. Now we have heard it has gone one better…
The Global Post's 'Living in the Shadows' project was awarded "Best of the Best" in general excellence at the SABEW competition. It was the only online project among the thirteen stories recognised from the original list of 163 winners, beating competition from The New York Times, the Associated Press, CNBC.com amongst others.
Judges for the Best of the Best portion of the contest were Marcus Brauchli, executive editor of The Washington Post; David Callaway, editor-in-chief of MarketWatch; Kai Ryssdal, host of Marketplace on National Public Radio; and Paul Steiger, editor-in-chief of ProPublica.com. The judges assessment of the project was that:
Living in the Shadows shines a vivid light on those living in the margins of China's red-hot economic boom. The ambition is audacious: follow three of the 200 million migrant workers as they struggle to survive and adapt. The intimate portraits — captured through evocative photos and enticing and engaging multimedia — move storytelling into new dimensions.

Totally agree. It was my stand out multimedia of last year and its good to know that I wasn't alone.
This is exactly the kind of work that gives photojournalism a good name. What I would really love to see though is it projected in a public space on three walls. That would be awesome.
Congratulations to Sharon and David.
