Isn’t it cute? The Moggies

Good old Media Hunter has launched a new awards program for us media and marketing bloggers, named ‘The Moggies’.

My dictionary defines a ‘Moggie’ as one of a common or mixed breed. Hummm…that may explain a few things about us bloggers.

Anyway, Media Hunter has asked bloggers and/or people of breeding age to nominate their favourite Australian media and marketing posts of 2008.

I suspect that I will not be nominating for my posts, but I would like to congratulate Media Hunter for a great initiative, recognising quality written and thought provoking blog posts.

According to Media Hunter, “The penny really dropped for me soon after I relaunched Media Hunter with a new look and format a few months ago. Rather than pumping out countless random posts and regurgitating facts and news from around the world, I decided to post less regularly, taking the time to identify poignant topics and research them well before tapping out the post.”

Like all good blogging ideas the only conditions are that it be
Australian, be media and marketing focused, was originally posted in
2008 and that is original work.

Nominations close midnight Friday 12 December (AEST) then shortlist the
Top 10 posts before announcing the Gold Moggy at a Gala blog posting
(pizza and beer for me) on Monday 22 December.

The latest exciting news is that experienced journalists and new media
analysts Mark Chenery and Mark Jones have agreed to help judge the
Moggies.

Mark Jones is a technology and business journalist of over 10 years
standing and former IT Editor of Fairfax Media’s Australian Financial
Review.

Mark Chenery is the DigitalWatch writer for Adnews (until 12 Dec 2008) and has just announced his move to Austcare.

I fully recommend that you visit Media Hunter’s site and nominate YOUR favourite media or marketing blog post.

Good one Media Hunter…
