The online producers of KnoxNews.com on Sunday night won a Digital Edge Award from the Newpaper Association of America for Best Use of Interactive Media for their weekly RandomThis videos.
They are, from left in the photo above, Katie Kolt, Lauren Spuhler, Erin Chapin and Online Editor Jigsha Desai.
The judges are among the smartest folks in online newspapers so it's very nice to see this talented team get recognized for their efforts.
The News Sentinel "Edgie" was one of six won by E.W. Scripps newspapers with The Naples Daily News winning four and the Evansville Courier winning one.
Congratulations to all.

Congratulations Jack!
It was nice to hear our fellow Tennesseans recognized at the NAA. It was a plesure to meet you too in the mayhem tonight. Keep up the great work.

Man, those chicks are HOT! They look smart too. I bet they're going to get a good raise after this. Perhaps be allowed to rest on their laurels for a bit.
Congratulations! I met Lauren Spuhler and Jigsha Desai in October at another conference, and I've been quite impressed by the work down there in Knoxville. (The full list of Digital Edge winners, including KnoxNews!, is on the Digital Edge Web site, www.digitaledge.org). Congratulations from everyone at the Newspaper Association of America!
Jack,
I'm so glad you recognized the fab 4.
Jigsha, Katie, Lauren and Erin...you've got a great future teaching us all how it's done.
