The first Sex-Positive Journalism Awards (the Sexies) were handed out this week and I couldn’t be more excited. You see, I studied journalism in my younger days (and by younger days I mean I just graduated last fall) and although my concentration was sports media, I sit in front of you a changed woman. The Sexies have quite an advisory board – the Center for Sex and Culture, the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom, and even Babeland! You can check out more about the Sexies here, including a full list of the winners with links to the winning pieces. Listen, I may never win an SJA British Sports Journalism award or even the Pulitzer Prize, but I wouldn’t mind taking home one of these. So congratulations to the 2008 winners and here’s to hoping I join them in 2009!
