Josh Stearns' Tracking of Journalist Arrests at Occupy Protests Wins Storify of the Year
By Jon Mitchell / January 2, 2012

Storify users have voted Josh Stearns' story tracking journalist arrests at Occupy protests as their story of the year. The social Web storytelling tool has grown up this year, finding itself in the right place at the right time to transform the way news gets made.

Stearns, journalism and public campaign director at FreePress.net, used Storify to keep track of the arrests of credentialed journalists at Occupy Wall Street and other affiliated protests. He collected stories of journalists being cuffed, tackled and trapped, even as they shouted that they were members of the press. We highlighted his efforts in our article, "How Storifying Occupy Wall Street Saved The News," and we're thrilled that the Storify community is celebrating his great work.
