About: Great 8 2008 is the latest installment of the News & Observer’s annual list of eight bands to watch in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. What began as a purely print product has transformed into a showcase of our best multimedia. We have upped the ante for the project each year and have helped our site reach a non-newspaper audience.

Awards: NPPA 1st Place (Multimedia), Feb. 2008
