- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) November 20, 2017 - Now through Dec. 20, 2017, local and national news outlets and freelance reporters may enter the Fair Media Council’s newly-expanded Folio Awards program, recognizing quality news as chosen by the ultimate critic: the public.
Social media categories specifically for news outlets have been introduced, while businesses and nonprofits may enter in a separate social media category.
“All told, the awards have been dramatically expanded to accommodate the changing media landscape and to provide the public a strong voice to give feedback directly to news outlets,” said Jaci Clement, Fair Media Council CEO and Executive Director.
The introduction of national news categories is entirely new to the Folio Awards, while local and social media entry criteria have changed and expanded.
The entry process is entirely online, and the process has been streamlined to enable payment after all entries have been submitted. Entry fees apply for all entries, and credit cards are accepted online as well as over-the-phone. Hard-copy checks may be mailed to the Fair Media Council, 1055 Stewart Ave., Bethpage, N.Y. 11714, and must be received by the due date of Dec. 20 to ensure eligibility requirements.
The Folio Awards recognize well-crafted works of journalism that tap the pulse of the public. Judges for the awards vary from year to year, but a combination of community leaders, retired journalists and college professors ensure the awards meet the highest quality standards.
