The Ethnic Media Awards Ceremony

Award winners were announced on Aug. 31 at the Ethnic Media Symposium, Expo & Awards hosted by Ethnic Media Services and California Black Media in Sacramento.

“The awards are the jewel in the crown of an event that brings ethnic media representatives together with decision makers and their communication experts for the first time,” says EMS Director Sandy Close. “The mission driving ethnic media is to produce better reporting for their audiences – having 300 submissions speaks to that aspiration.”

What Is "Ethnic Media" – Who Qualifies?

Ethnic news outlets are those print, online, broadcast platforms that target a specific audience defined by race, ethnic origin, religious affiliation, gender identity and that publish regularly. Pan-ethnic media outlets target multiple ethnic audiences (such as pan-AAPI, pan African diaspora, pan-immigrant, pan people-of-color, pan LGBTQ+).
