Guild members' online feature
among best in world

Ottawa Newspaper Guild | CWA Canada Local 30205

Two members of the Ottawa Newspaper Guild are winning global kudos for a multimedia feature entitled Superman at 70.

Ottawa Citizen reporter Vito Pilieci and web designer Andrea Sirman produced the feature (a rich multimedia history of the Man of Steel, from comic book to big screen) that has positioned the newspaper as one of four finalists for an Online Journalism Award, sponsored by the Online News Association (ONA) in partnership with the University of Southern California's Annenberg School of Communication.

The winner is to be named at the ONA's conference and awards banquet in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 13.
