Swing State of Mind, the Santa Fe Reporter’s election blog, will receive an AltWeekly Award from the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies for “Dave Maass and staff.” This brings the amount of awards by the Santa Fe Reporter to six.

This includes an award by my coworker at the New Mexico Independent, Gwyneth Doland. My editor David Alire Garcia also worked at the Santa Fe Reporter before joining NMI last year.

Swing State of Mind is a finalist in the blog category for papers with circulations of 50,000 or less.

I saw Maass cover the Democratic National Convention (often sitting next to him) and was amazed at his seemingly nonstop posts, constant video updates and generally just being everywhere at once.

The AltWeekly Awards will be announced on June 26 in Tucson, Arizona.

And, it should be noted, Maass and his colleagues over at the Santa Fe Reporter won despite this video featuring… me:
