Matador wins Society of American Travel Writers ‘Lowell Thomas’ award
Matador won this year’s ‘silver’ award for Online Travel Journalism Sites (see category 22).
Here were the judges’ comments:
Matador is more than just a high-quality online travel site. It is a great community of travel enthusiasts who mix expert advice and local knowledge through blogs, forums and destination pages. The network goes beyond creating a place to aggregate eyeballs and cheap user-generated content for advertisers. Its unique Matador U is aimed at helping get better — and not just more — travel content on the Web. The training and advice in Matador U is a model that other fields of journalism should examine.

news: my blog was hacked. mixtape writing is dead.
‘Sup out there?
Operating on Stoke got hacked last week. Sorry for anyone who opened this blog and got a warning message. I’ve since had it scanned for malware (various times) and we’re good to go again.
The only thing is that in all the hours and frustration of trying to get everything restored, the subdomain site MIXTAPE WRITING ended up getting “nuked.”
Thanks to everyone who participated in that project.
Alright, getting back into the flow.
