Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The 2011 Weblog Awards, or Bloggies, has announced the nominees selected for the best blogs on the web. The winners will be revealed on February 27.
Voting for the 11th annual Bloggies is open to those who nominated candidates for consideration in January. This award is not to be confused with the Webbies, which honor the best websites and will be announced April 12.
Nominees cover a range of categories, with topics including Entertainment, Travel, Sports, Music, Tech, Politics, Photography, Art/Crafts, Food, and Fashion.
Awards are also given for blogs that are the most humorous, best designed and best written.
Also, winners will be selected for the best blogs in Australia/New Zealand, Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America, and Canada.
Best Entertainment candidates for 2011 are primarily film blogs: /Film, Kid In the Front Row, io9, Best for Film and Reel Life for Jane.
The Best Travel blogs include Everything Everywhere, Hole in the Donut, The Vacation Gals, and My Itchy Travel Feet.
Best Music blogs nominees are Pitchfork, Music Road, Your Band, The Recommender and Rock It Out!.
Best Kept Secret Blogs include Twitching Blobs and Band Back Together.
In an effort to stay current with trends, categories are removed and others introduced; this year, the Bloggies eliminated Best Teen Weblog and added Best Science and Best Parenting Weblog.
A Lifetime Achievement will also be given for bloggers posting since 2006.
The winning blogs will be announced in a roll-out February 27 from 8-10:30 pm EST on the Bloggies' Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/Bloggies and Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Weblog-Awards/177574588926573.
One winner will be announced approximately every five minutes, culminating with the Weblog of the Year at 10:30. Winners will then be posted on the website.
