Re: journalism award signals

One of the things that the awards idea makes me think about is 
evaluating not just a site but the organization that publishes it. 
Scientific organizations don't get journalism awards, but their 
researchers may well get prestigious scientific awards, like Nobel 
Prizes and Fields Medals. I work at a lab that's pretty conspicuous for 
its Nobels, so I don't want to emphasize that more than it deserves, but 
in general I want to make sure this list doesn't end up only making 
sense for journalistic sites.
