From the Judges
All the judges in this category were impressed with the volume and quality of original content produced for this publication, as well as the creativity and editorial craftsmanship involved in the presentation: narratives, listicles, video, animation, infographics, etc. There's lots of variety to capture the reader's attention. It's engaging and invites exploration. It's well organized in sections that give every reader something to notice and click on. Excellent use of visuals, too.
Overall, this piece sets the standard for what a higher-ed news site should be.
