Gwangju city's blog wins award at 2010 Korea Blog Awards.

To quote from GFN 98.7 FM, since I can't link directly to their news articles:
Gwangju Metropolitan City’s blog sayGJ.com has won first place in the public organizations sector of the 2010 Korea Blog Award.

The Korea Blog Business Association and the Korea Press Foundation jointly administered the award.

The evaluations considered a blog’s content, activities and communications.

The City’s blog began September 2009 and was recognized for its offerings in the areas of art and culture, tourism, food, and city news.

To this date, the blog has had over 1.8 million hits.

This Korean-language write-up lists other winners. The city has sponsored an English-language blog this year as well, Gwangju Blog.

Bravo to the people that put this thing together. It's helpful, concise, and doesn't come across like a government blog usually does. In fact, the several times it's come up in Google searches (!), I had a tough time figuring what its angle was. It wasn't until some clicking around that I figured out what it really was.
