I think there should be a seperate award for writtne fanzines and one for electronic medium. Why not? Is there a shortage of materials to make awards from? I think not. And why try to shoehorn one thing into a category that is it essentially quite different from? I think it makes more sense to have Best Fanzine (online or print) - there's your lit award, and Best Podcast (or equivalent, it's not my oeuvre) - there's your media award.
I have also thought for a long time that the Ditmars should be more balanced in a number of ways, but ... I don't have the time or the shoutiest online voice to argue over such things ad nauseum, nor am I often able to attend the actual Business meeting where such things are voted upon, so my voice essentially doesn't count, along with so many others in a similar situation. 'Shoutiest person wins' is also a pet peeve of mine.
