The Military Reporters & Editors’ prestigious annual awards contest will open up May 15 to honor the best-of-the-best journalists out there on the military, defense and national security beats.
Following our contest last year, the board of directors decided to update award categories to reflect the changes in news organizations, how news is disseminated globally, and how news is presented across expanding platforms and mediums.
We hope you will be pleased to see a variety of new categories representing modern news delivery and more clarification to some existing categories. We will ensure there is plenty of time to select and notify winners well ahead of the awards ceremony at the annual conference in Washington, D.C., in late October.
We are excited about these changes and look forward to a great contest this year.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
