The role of media and bloggers during the current crisis\u00a0 has never been more important as people rely on them to deliver breaking news, updates, and in-depth reports about the pandemic whether inside the country or abroad.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These modern day heroes also deserve recognition for the risks they take and\u00a0 their important contributions in keeping the public informed.\u00a0 Thus, for this year,\u00a0Globe\u2019s annual Globe Media Excellence Awards (GMEA)\u00a0was dedicated to honoring the newsmakers as well as their organizations for exemplary work in bringing COVID-19-related issues to the attention of the public via print, broadcast, or digital media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven with the challenges that 2020 gave us, we are grateful to you for demonstrating purposeful reporting. The newsroom has significantly evolved. It is now at the palm of your hands. As we continue to work towards one digital nation, we are allies in connecting Filipinos, arming them with quality news and information to help them better understand what is happening around us and ultimately improve their lives,\u201d Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu told the newsmakers during the GMEA online awarding ceremonies which gathered all the judges, screeners, and participants in one big digital venue for the first time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To this, Globe SVP for Corporate Affairs Yoly Crisanto added: \u201cMuch like our doctors and nurses who we call our frontliners, newsmakers have also been given a tall order and that is the responsibility to continue to deliver accurate and timely news updates to their readers and followers. We salute you for fulfilling your duties unfailingly despite the pandemic disrupting our way of life and forcing us to adjust in order to function.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For 2020, GMEA received over 400 entries from Visayas and Mindanao. Of the submitted works, 91 were chosen as finalists for Visayas and 72 for Mindanao. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GMEA, which is now in its 8th year, was created to recognize media practitioners and outfits as well as bloggers in Visayas and Mindanao who delivered stories that are dynamic, progressive, accurate and truthful.  GMEA is also seen as a way to honor them for upholding the essential ideals of journalism in whatever way or form in order to benefit future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
