The awards will place an emphasis on the quality of journalism, cross platform execution, design and the ability to engage audiences across multiple platforms. Audience scale is determined by emma (Enhanced Media Metrics Australia) data.

Entries will close on July 8th and finalists will be announced on August 5th.

The awards will be presented at a gala dinner on September 2nd, at the conclusion of the NewsMediaWorks’ annual Future Forum news media conference to be held at The Ivy in Sydney.

The PANPAs continue to be the pre-eminent awards in the region’s news media industry,” NewsMediaWorks CEO, Mark Hollands, said.
