Congratulations, espiBlog! »

iReporter Patricio Espinoza has won a 2009 Lone Star EMMY Advanced Media Award for his coverage of Hurricane Ike on espiblog.org. Let's all give him a round of virtual applause!

 

We're proud to say that the videos in Espinoza's award-winning coverage, where he took viewers inside evacuee shelters in San Antonio and gave us a first-hand look at search and rescue efforts by the National Guard, were posted here on iReport.com and featured on CNN.

 

On his blog, Espinoza called the award "a testament to what ONE Journalist can do with today's ready available digital tools.  It is a sign of the times we live in, and I'm just happy to be part of it." Well, we're certainly happy that Espinoza is part of the community here at iReport.
