  • Competition Comment: Our winner featured a slide show that shared samples of reporting from various online platforms on various topics. Some of our honorees focused on one event with a slide show of images on Insta, with solid captions making a big difference in quality and storytelling. For the future, if entries will at least look over our first place winner they can come closer to producing a PowerPoint or other format that provides both depth and breadth in examples. Just sharing an Instagram account does not provide much guidance for what should be judged.
