CNN's Twitter World Cup Coverage Wins Prestigious UK Journalism Award

CNN has just won a prestigious UK journalism award for its innovative use of Twitter to cover the 2010 World Cup.

The Royal Television Society, established as the Television Society in 1927 – nine years before regular public television broadcasting even began – has acknowledged CNN in the “Innovative News” category of its annual TV journalism awards. This television journalism award pre-dates even the popular distribution of broadcasting itself, and in recognizing a traditional media outlet’s use of new media, it has identified a convergence point between the old and the new that is re-shaping global media.
