Jack & Jill Politics Wins a Black Blogger Award

6 Sep 2007 Author: Baratunde Thurston (Jack Turner)

Thanks to all who nominated and voted. The tallies are in and Jack & Jill Politics won the judges vote for the category of Best Political/News Blog. Big up to our writers Jill Tubman, dnA, rikyrah and Jack Turner and to the readers and commenters that make this such an interesting place to be.

From the site:

After 7,000+ nominations and 1800+ votes for our 91 finalists, here are the winners of the 2007 Black Weblog Awards.

Unique to this year was the addition of our panel of ten judges, authorities in the fields of blogging, design, the Internet and good writing. Each category has two winners: a popular vote (the ones which you, the users, casted your ballots for) and the judges’ vote (the top ranked picks from our judges).

Best Political/News Blog
Popular Vote: The Field Negro
Judges’ Vote: Jack and Jill Politics

It’s an honor to be in such great company. Check out all of the winners if you get a chance. Special shout to Racialicious, What About Our Daughters, and Blackprof.com
