Congrats to Heat City
Phoenix Magazine has come out with its annual “Best of the Valley” edition.
Amongst the media winners is PHXated friend Nick Martin, who was named ‘Best Blogger’ for Heat City.
Favoritism, shmavoritism – the Valley’s best blogger is PHOENIX magazine contributor Nick R. Martin, whose independently-produced Heat City news blog (heatcity.org) is a true marvel of D-I-Y journalism.
Competing against entire newsrooms at The Arizona Republic and other newspapers, Martin took first place in breaking news at the most recent Arizona Press Club Awards for getting the scoop on a series of arrests related to the 2004 bombing of the Scottsdale diversity office. And he essentially performed this service for free, since Heat City is funded by public donations.
Congrats Nick! And best of luck in your new endeavors.

Thank you! That's very nice of you to mention it. The listing was a genuine surprise. I'm grateful to the folks at Phoenix magazine for it.
I always appreciate the kind words from PHXated, too.
