On its 61st anniversary and during the 28th Community Press Awards held at Eastwood Richmonde Hotel, the Philippine Press Institute (PPI) - the national association of newspapers and the oldest professional media organization for print in the country - announced two new award categories.

PPI’s newest partner, Megaworld Hotels and Resorts, introduced the categories during the awarding ceremonies on June 28.

In a video message, Harold Brian Geronimo, Megaworld’s vice president and head of public relations and media affairs, said the company will sponsor two special categories: Best Reporting on Sustainable Tourism and Best Reporting on Livable Community.

These additions complement the existing weekly and daily newspaper categories supported by PPI’s principal and institutional partner, Nickel Asia Corp.

As the awards program grows, it gives PPI members more chances to compete and be recognized.

“It democratizes the program while keeping its integrity intact. Member newspapers can also expand their coverage and readership,” said Ariel Sebellino, PPI executive director and head of training operations and special projects.

The new categories will take effect in the next edition of the Community Press Awards, the only program in the country that recognizes excellence in community journalism.
