Congratulations to our very own Nicola Smith, who scooped the Work Foundation’s Workworld Media Awards “Blogger of the Year” title at last night’s ceremony. The award, which was presented by Will Hutton and Lord Puttnam is a new category for the 24 year old work, business and economic media awards, but was hotly contested, with a shortlist comprising Owen Walker of the FT’s SchemeXpert.com and the always excellent Stefan Stern for his work at Edelman and FT Blogs (and who has a post up today on the new category’s implications for journalism).

Richly deserved! As I’ve said to Richard before, the Touchstone blog is an indispensable resource for the movement and Nicola’s blogs have been essential reading over the last couple of years. Great that Nicola and Touchstone are finally receiving wider recognition – keep up the good work.
