The Washington Post’s Newsprint, its annual social-first wrap-up highlighting a blend of personalized reading habits and recommendations, has been named a finalist for The International News Media Association’s 2024 Global Media Awards in the “Best Idea to Encourage Reader Engagement” national category. Newsprint, launched in 2022, provides subscribers with one-of-a-kind insights into their Post reading habits based on their consumption throughout the past year. In 2023, Newsprint debuted dynamic new features, which included gifting subscribers a video with a special message from their most-read journalist, and for those with less-robust news consumption, an immersive quiz revealing these subscribers’ “reader types.”
INMA judges considered 771 entries for this year’s competition. “This year’s Global Media Awards was highly competitive, with emerging themes focusing on breakthroughs in AI, newsrooms, young readers, and more,” said Earl J. Wilkinson, executive director and CEO of INMA in an announcement of the finalists. “This class of finalists represent the best in the business of news, and we are proud to champion the mission of outstanding journalism.”
First-place winners, regional winners, and the global “Best In Show” will be unveiled April 25 at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, as the culmination of the INMA World Congress of News Media being held April 22-26.
