RTNDA is now accepting entries for the 2010 Murrow Awards and there’s a new wrinkle. For the first time, online news organizations are eligible to enter any of the categories. What this means, in effect, is that audio and video that appeared exclusively online can win a Murrow. Great move, if you ask me.

The deadline for submissions is Feb. 1. Here’s everything you need to get going.

And while we’re on the subject of awards, here’s our current list. Please let us know if you find any that are in error or out of date or if there are others we should add.
