AMIC ASIA COMMUNICATION AWARD 2013
Honouring excellence in media and communications

The AMIC Asia Communication Award recognizes outstanding achievement in one or several fields, including research, education, institution building, and excellence in journalism and other media endeavours. Individuals of all nationalities are eligible for this award, which is given yearly at the AMIC annual meeting at the discretion of the AMIC Board of Directors.

Criteria

The AMIC Asia Communication Award recognizes lasting and outstanding contributions in one or more of the following categories:

  • Research—pioneering contributions to the body of media research, such as the launching and completion of major research projects or the development of enduring theoretical approaches to media and communications.
  • Education—lasting contributions in nurturing successive generations of media, communications, or journalism students and scholars.
  • Institution building—establishment of key communications and media programs, research centres, or academic journals.
  • Excellence in journalism, whether in print, broadcast or online—sustained contributions to public service and the highest journalistic principles.
  • Other media and communication contributions—from time to time the Board may present the AMIC Communication Award to media practitioners for outstanding commitment and excellence in their field of endeavour.

Focus

An individual will be honoured based on the impact that his or her work has had on Asian communications and media. The impact of the contribution can be focused on a single country within Asia, on a region within Asia, or on the whole of Asia. While the awardees need not be Asian, preference is accorded to regional actors.
