More than a dozen collaborations were recognized at the Online Journalism Awards this year.
This weekend, more than 3,000 journalists gathered in Washington for the 2017 Online News Association conference and the Online Journalism Awards.
With mentions of parachute journalism in the keynote and sessions and table talks on collaboration, the idea and spirit of partnerships was very much alive at the conference.
Here are the 14 editorial projects recognized at this year’s Online Journalism Awards.
