The 5th edition of the LATAM Digital Media Awards will be inaugurated by Rosental Alves, member of the evaluation jury and Founder and Executive Director of the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas.

Rosental will share some thoughts on the importance and challenges around promoting innovation in the journalism industry, before the official announcement of the Awards' winners.

It has been an exceptional year in which Latin American news media have rethought, reshaped and rejoiced on digital journalism, both in pure players and legacy media, after showing how innovation and creativity remain at the core of exceptional journalism.

This is why the 2019 LATAM Digital Media Awards recognize news media companies and press entities that have adopted the best innovation and journalistic quality strategies as part of their product offerings. In this link you'll find this year's 37 finalist projects!
