Publication

The 2004 Media Tenor Online Award was dominated by major US publications. Two out of the top three award winning online media are based in the United States: the Washington Post and New York Times left most of their competitors behind. There is however competition from Hamburg with the German flagship Spiegel Online ranking high and the online edition of the Financial Times Deutschland (FTD) proving an innovative newcomer. Rankings are based on interactive possibilities, user friendliness matters and information provision.
