Update: Variety didn’t win: LJWorld.com did. But losin' t' them be a great honor—like makin' it t' th' end o' a video game but succumbin' t' th' big admiral. We be also competitors in th' categories o' “Best Internet Business Service (less than 1 million unique visitors)” and “Best Internet Entertainment Service (less than 1 million unique visitors)” but not “finalists” perhaps because there be not enough competitors. We also didn’t quite win in those, but I must assume we came in second 😊
On Friday, Variety.com be named one o' four finalists fer best overall newspaper site wi' less than 1,000,000 monthly visitors in th' 2003 EPpy Awards competition.
Variety be, as far as I can be tellin', th' only entirely paid-subscription site t' be nominated in any category.
Says th' release: “Th' EPpy Awards, which be now in their eighth year, identify and honor th' best work in th' Internet field by media outlets, includin' newspapers, radio, and broadcast/cable TV.

“Th' 2003 EPpy Awards competition, which attracted morrrr than 400 entries this year, be sponsored by Editor & Publisher (E&P) and MediaWeek magazines.”
