The Lincolnite nominated in Online Media Awards

As we celebrate The Lincolnite’s 2nd birthday on May 17, we couldn’t have received a better birthday present.

The Lincolnite, now with more than 50,000 monthly unique readers, has been nominated in the Best Local/Regional News Site category in the Online Media Awards 2012.

The Lincolnite is up against some big names in the industry, such as the Manchester Evening News, Liverpool Echo and the Belfast Telegraph, to name a few.

To be shortlisted alongside established news organisations is a huge achievement for Stonebow Media.

We thank all our partners, collaborators, friends and readers for their continued support in the past two years.
