This year’s New Media Awards highlighted the impact of digital media has on connecting a people to its government. An audience full of MPs, Lords, NGO do-gooders, journalists and technophiles cheered and applauded the winners under the stars at Westminster Abbey College Gardens.
Perhaps the most impressive example of the way new media can connect people was this year’s advocacy winner Stop The Traffik (STT). The website, which is little more than a year old, is campaigning to end human trafficking and has exploded into a global coalition of more than 800 organisations with the website now translated into 20 different languages.
