2 The Drudge Report Breaks Lewinsky Scandal (1998)

Matt Drudge Scoops one of the decade’s biggest stories

The Drudge Report, a little-known, one-man news site, beat the mainstream media on one of the decade’s biggest stories when it broke the Monica Lewinsky scandal online. The Drudge scoop paved the way for the blogging revolution and foreshadowed future online coups.

Second only to the DotCom Boom & Bust in the Webby list. Cool. Just a reminder of the kind of lasting influence Matt has.
