About this event
Special thanks to our presenting sponsor, The Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute, and to our keynote sponsor, Google News Initiative.
---
The need for local online news is stronger than ever before. The world may be on pause, but journalism never stops. It may not be our usual gathering as previous years, but let’s applaud the hard and prestigious work of our colleagues with an extraordinary virtual awards ceremony.
At LION Publishers, our mission is to guide local online news publishers in technology, business and advertising to a pathway of sustainability. We also want to take the time to recognize their outstanding work in informing and connecting their community during these critical times.
Join us for the second annual LION Awards on Oct. 22 as we recognize journalists across the U.S and Canada within our nine returning categories — Publisher of the Year, Business Idea of the Year and Technology Innovation — to name a few.
And this year, we’ve added several new categories to reflect the times we live in: Public Service Award, Emerging Publisher, Member of the Year, Coronavirus Coverage and Collaboration of the Year.
The night will also feature a keynote conversation with Mitra Kalita, senior vice president for news, opinion and programming for CNN Digital; Mazin Sidahmed, co-founding editor and senior reporter at Documented, and Kate Maxwell, publisher and co-founder of The Mendocino Voice.
Save the date, dress to impress and join us in honoring all of our finalists and winners!
