About the Awards
The Future of Media Awards recognise and celebrate the brightest minds in the industry.
Every year, our expert judges look for work that brings quality journalism to a digital audience. They aim to celebrate great product teams, effective digital strategies, innovative editors and impactful online storytelling.
At their heart, these awards are about recognising the best in online journalism and technical and commercial innovation, providing a platform for great editorial work.
The Future of Media Awards are now in their fourth year, building on the success of the Press Gazette’s British Journalism Awards. Whereas the British Journalism Awards are purely about the journalism, the Future of Media Awards celebrate the best online media products such as newsletters, podcasts, websites and apps.
