UNICEF Seeks Contributions for the Arab Media Award for Excellence in Children's Rights
Media representatives from the Middle East & North Africa are invited by UNICEF to share their dedicated efforts to highlight the situations of children and young people participating in the Media Excellence Award for 2009.
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) motivates all journalists, children, and adolescents in the Arab World to participate in the Arab Media Humanitarian Forum.
The award has been announced by the UNICEF Regional Office for Middle East and North Africa in conjunction with the United Arab Emirates' Al-Bayan newspaper and The Center for Communication Programs at Johns Hopkins University, in May 2009.
The Media Prize will be awarded for excellence in reporting in Arab media on Health Promotion and Behavioral Change. The reportage will be judged on its quality and in-depth analysis of local, national, or regional news.
Nominated works must adhere to the highest standards of journalism, including clarity of expression, accuracy, fairness, and strict observance of ethical guidelines in reporting on children's issues and respecting the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Entries will be assessed by an independent panel of judges comprised of media representatives, adolescents, and UNICEF representatives.
Prizes will be awarded for four different categories: TV, Radio, print, and online.
