Digital Media Categories

Entries in the Digital Media categories will be judged for their editing/writing/reporting, usability, and how well they convey or complement the parent publication's editorial mission. Entries must provide content that is of value to the reader and may not have the sole purpose of advertising products. See specific categories for additional criteria. These categories will have only two circulation classifications: entries whose parent publications have over 60,000 circulation of their print product and entries whose parent publications have under 60,000 of their print product in circulation.

Best Website

This category is for a website produced by a publishing company. Entries should demonstrate compelling execution and clear purpose. When you submit your entry, in the online Editorial Profile box, enter the website's URL and a brief description of the website's editorial goals or mission, including how it supports the parent publication's editorial mission. If access to the website is by password or subscription only, provide information that will allow the judges to easily access it. Publishing companies may enter this category once for each different website.
 

Best e-Newsletter

This category is for an e-mail newsletter produced for a publishing company and delivered on a regular basis. Entries should demonstrate compelling execution and clear purpose. DO NOT enter websites in this category. When you submit your entry, in the online Editorial Profile box, enter a link to one issue of the e-newsletter along with a description of its publication frequency and its editorial goals or mission, including how it supports the parent publication's editorial mission. The e-newsletter's link and linked content items must be live (or archived and accessible to the judges and MMPA organization) through November 1. Publishing companies may enter this category once for each different e-newsletter.

Best Blog

This category is for a blog produced for a publishing company. The blog should incorporate strong reporting, commentary, or criticism and demonstrate intelligence, stylish writing, a clear purpose, and connection to the readers. When you submit your entry, in the online Editorial Profile box, enter the blog's URL along with a description of its editorial goals or mission, including how it supports the parent publication's editorial mission. The blog's link and linked content items must be live (or archived and accessible to the judges and MMPA organization) through November 1. If access to the blog is by password or subscription only, provide information that will allow the judges to easily access it. Publishing companies may enter this category one time for each different blog.
