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.
