Dan Gillmor, the business and technology columnist for San Jose Mercury News who came to give us an introduction to the Silicon Valley, has won the 2004 World Technology Award for Media & Journalism. His book We the Media prolaims that the grassroots jounalism has broke the Big Media’s monoply, transforming it from a lecture to a conversation.
