CBC wins award for its Olympics web site

The CBC’s Olympics website Torino 2006 at CBC.ca was among the winners Monday at the Canadian New Media Awards gala in Toronto.
     Now in its sixth year, the awards celebrate the excellence of both individuals and companies working in Canada’s fledgling online media industry.
     The Torino 2006 website, which set new CBC.ca records for the highest number of web visitors in a single day as well as the highest monthly traffic, won for excellence in news and information.
     It was appropriate that a selection of people who worked on the site — including writers, designers, project managers — were on hand for the gala, said Chris Harris, a CBC Sports Online writer who served as senior editor of the Torino 2006 website.
