From the European Parliament website:
The winners of this year’s European Parliament Journalism Prize received their awards at a ceremony in Brussels on 13 October. There were four categories: written press, radio, TV and the Internet. The Internet prize was won by UK blogger James Clive-Matthews – also known as “Nosemonkey” – for his article “EUtopia – What percentage of laws come from the EU?”.
The judges liked the wit and humour in Mr Clive-Matthews’ blog but they also noted the amount of research he put into it, describing him as “one of the few bloggers covering the EU seriously”.
