Posted by Bob Boorstin, Director, Global Policy Global Voices announced the winners of the 2nd Breaking Borders Award. The award honors people who, in the view of Global Voices, are making a difference in the push for a free and open Internet.Mamfakinch has become far and away the most popular Moroccan citizen media portal. The name means "we don't give up" in that nation's Arabic dialect. Mamfakinch uses volunteer editors to aggregate and curate materials from its contributors. In less than a year, the site grew from a "crazy idea" to a site with more than one million unique visitors.Atlatszo.hu has worked to maintain standards of journalistic integrity and quality investigative journalism. The group, led by Marietta Le, recently fought and won an important fight for the protection of sources in Hungary.
Atlatszo is not "led by Marietta Le", though she's one of the volunteer journalists on the Atlatszo team. The chief editor is Tamas Bodoky, a well-known investigative journalist, and the deputy chief editor is Attila Mong. Great people all! See http://atlatszo.hu/impresszum/
