The weblogs come from all parts of the country. In the politics category, the expert jury awarded the prize to "Une voix pour la Boillat" (www.laboillat.blogspot.com). This blog was created in the context of the strikers at Swissmetall in Reconvillier. It is exemplary for a blog as a means of political communication outside the traditional media.
In the culture category, first prize went to "Bands Magazine" (www.bandsmagazine.ch), a blog music magazine that provides information about bands and their gigs, rates CDs, maintains innovative interview formats and offers concert reviews, among many other things.
The winner in the education category was "Le Semeur" (p7app.geneve.ch:8007/lesemeur), a comprehensive blog on everything to do with education, from the use of blogs in schools to studies on youth and media.
"Le Bondy Blog" (blogs.hebdo.ch/bondy) was chosen as the winner in the Life category. During the unrest in France last year, journalists from "L'hebdo" used this blog to report on life in the small French town. The internationally renowned blog has now been handed over to a team of young bloggers from Bondy.
Bruno Giussani won the specialist topics category with his blog "Lunch over IP" (giussani.typepad.com). In his blog, the Ticino-based technology journalist and author writes eloquently and competently about facts, fundamentals and personal matters relating to technology and society.
The jury consisted of Wolfgang Frei (NZZ, President), Roger Fischer (Kaywa), Peter Hogenkamp (Zeix), Francis Moret (educa.ch), Bernard Rappaz (TSR), Peter Wälty (20 Minuten).
