Comments
Jay Korff-The winners in this emerging category cobbled together stories that exhibited poise and sophistication. The quality of the remaining entries dropped off significantly.

Joel Eagle-Does doing it by yourself in the field and in the edit bay lead to the best storytelling? The results say no. The top three stories were solid and well done. After the winners, the drop off was significant.

Regina McCombs-This was a tough category to know where to set the bar. A number of truly great photojournalists have essentially been one-man-bands, but most of those who entered in this were young journalists getting started. We ended up with an assortment of spot news, features and general news that's a bit of apples and oranges, on top of the fact that none of us are thrilled with idea of the proliferation of vjs in the first place.

Mike Humphries-Comments to come.

Stephanie Ottjepka-Comments to come.

Erica Simpson-Erica Simpson stepped out of the judging of this category due to the fact she entered this category.
