The Center for Public Integrity, a non-partisan non-profit organization committed to “transparent and comprehensive reporting in both the United States and around the world,” has put The UpTake in its Top Ten Websites from 2008.  To be listed in the same form as nationally-acclaimed Investigative Reporters And Editors, and fellow indy media pioneers, Center for Independent Media and Talking Points Memo, is an honor. 

Here’s what The Center for Public Integrity has to say about The UpTake:   “The Uptake — A nonprofit journalism site that has kept political junkies across the world abreast of every minute of the five-person Minnesota recount committee’s deliberations about Franken, Coleman, and Lizard People.” Link is here: http://www.publicintegrity. org/blog/entry/1104/
