After two busy days at the Dublin Editors Lab on sports journalism, the winning team going forward to the final is BBC Visual Journalism. They pitched a prototype ‘Sportspeak’ to measure cliches in post-match interviews. The team from Journal Media received a special mention for a prototype allowing fans to rank players and the public choice award went to The Times/Sunday Times for their ‘enhanced’ articles prototype that tailors articles to readers varying levels of sports knowledge.
