The Awards will close for entries on 25 May, with no extension and winners will be announced at an event on Saturday, 24 June at The Venue, Melrose Arch, Gauteng.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the second year SANEF is organising the awards. They were previously organised by PDMSA, now the Publishers\u2019 Support Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme of the Awards this year is \u201cJournalism: In the Face of Public LIE <\/strong>ability. When seeing is believing, when does the ability to lie end, and the liability begin?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open to all print, online\/digital, broadcast (radio and TV) journalists, the Awards are a highlight on the journalistic calendar rewarding the exceptional work done by the country\u2019s journalists in categories from investigative journalism to feature writing and lifestyle as well as a digital category that continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Awards reflect the importance of accurate and reliable as well as verified reporting in a world where fake news is a massive issue. They are also proof of the important role that the Fourth Estate plays in the country\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
