Now Online: Results for the "Best Notable Quotables of 2007, the
Twentieth Annual Awards for the Year's Worst Reporting"
The results are in for the "Best Notable Quotables of 2007, the
Twentieth Annual Awards for the Year's Worst Reporting." A panel of
52 leading media observers judged 17 award categories and the winning
quotes and top runners-up have been posted on the MRC's home page,
with the quotes from television accompanied by click-and-play Flash
video, as well as downloadable Windows Media video and MP3 audio
clip.

Last week we tabulated the votes and squeezed as many quotes as
we could into the eight-page hard copy version. It went off to the
printer on Wednesday night. A press release announcing the results
went out this morning.
