Amnesty announces 2010 Media Awards winners

I was invited by @JazCummins , Web and New Media Manager of Amnesty UK, to attend their International Media Awards 2010. The event was very impressive with and included impressive stories covered by brave some brave journalists.

More about the Awards:

The Amnesty International media awards recognise excellence in human rights journalism that makes a significant contribution to the UK public’s understanding of human rights.

The awards, established in 1992, celebrate the breadth of reporting across different media and acknowledge the risks journalists take while reporting the stories that might otherwise remain untold.

The winners of this year’s media awards were announced on 1 June 2010. The awards ceremony, hosted by ITV newscaster Katie Derham, presented ten awards for the very best human rights journalism over the past year spanning the full spectrum of broadcast, print and digital journalism.

In an unprecedented move this year’s special award for journalists under threat went not to an individual or single organisation, but instead to all independent media working in Burma.

The special award recognises the courage of journalists working in Burma, who pursue their legitimate work at great personal risk to themselves.

New Tournament Promotion from PokerStars Twitter League

admin — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 18:53:02 +0000

A couple of weeks ago @sweena , Social Media Community Manager for @PokerStars , invited me to join PokerStars launching a brand new Twitter League.

More info:

“For a site typically known for its huge prize pools, the new PokerStars Twitter League promotion is ideal for small bankrolls.

For only $1.10, players can compete in a big tournament and stand to win lots of money. The Twitter Poker League has also added a bonus of $25,000 in prizes to the best players. The tournament runs every week for eight weeks, and the bonus prizes are awarded at the end of that time to the top players. After that, the bi-monthly leaderboard resets. At the end of the year, the top players from the annual leaderboard get a part of a $17,000 bonus prize fund.

The tournaments run every Sunday at 14:00 under the name “Twitter Poker League” (in light blue text). With relatively big prize pools every game and with plenty of bonus cash, this is a great weekly event for low stakes players.

The Twitter League also has bonuses for the top live tweeters, so you can make money just by spreading the word. Source: http://bit.ly/bbEiIR “
