The awards keep piling up for Foreign Policy‘s own Tom Ricks and his Best Defense blog. Having already snagged the 2010 Digital National Magazine award for best blog, Ricks has now added Military Reporters and Editors award for best online content to his trophy case. Military Reporters and Editors explained their decision:

The Best Defense, Tom Ricks’ blog at ForeignPolicy.com, is what he calls “sequential journalism — incrementally advancing lines of inquiry by interacting with readers, sources and the news cycle.” His sparkling, sometimes angry, prose coupled with reporting that on occasion is ahead of the rest of the media make this a must-read for anyone interested in national security.

Congratulations, Tom, for this well deserved win!

Andrew Swift is an editorial researcher at Foreign Policy.
