ProfNet Connect, the free, interactive online community for the communications industry, was developed to facilitate connections between journalists, bloggers, media professionals, influencers and expert sources. Through the comprehensive platform, users are able to actively network, share information and increase online visibility and credibility among traditional and new audiences. Via profiles, forums and blogs, subject-matter experts can position themselves as the go-to source for reporters and, in turn, reporters can search the site by keyword to find the experts they need. The site also features enhanced profile capabilities, allowing users to easily add multimedia components -- photos, videos, white papers and more -- to their profiles. And because profiles are indexed by all major search engines, users can increase their visibility and media interaction even further.

In determining the winner of the Outstanding Achievement in Web Development for a Public Relations Website, independent expert judges from around the world examined several criteria including design, ease of use, copywriting, interactivity, use of technology, innovation and content.

"We are thrilled to receive this prestigious award from the Web Marketing Association recognizing our efforts to promote a sense of community within a fast-paced industry," said Sandra Azzollini, director, Online Content and Community, PR Newswire. "Developing ProfNet Connect is an ongoing process and we are constantly enhancing the site to improve user experience and keep our community engaged. Ensuring the site always has relevant content of interest to our audience, is easily navigable and promotes interactivity is of prime importance and the affirmation of our success from the Web Marketing Association is extremely rewarding."

Independent expert judges from around the world review sites in 96 industries. The best are recognized with a WebAward which helps interactive professionals promote themselves, their companies, and their best work to the outside world.
