CEBU CITY – The Metrobank Foundation, Inc. and the Probe Media Foundation have launched here the “Search for Journalists of the Year”. The Search will recognize 3 journalists as paragons of their profession and the media industry and each of them will receive a P300,000 as cash prize and a specially designed medallion.
Organizers said the awardees will also be bestowed the title “Metrobank Foundation Fellows in Journalism,” where they will share their expertise and experience through professional lectures for students, academic professionals, and media practitioners in different parts of the country.
It said those who are interested to join the search may register at http://bit.ly/JOYCebu.
Now on its 2nd year, the JOY Search recognizes excellence in Philippine journalism. It celebrates and honors Filipino journalists from print, television, radio and online media whose excellent stories have contributed to the development of the nation, and have influenced and inspired their colleagues and the broader media industry over the years.
The first journalists recognized by MBFI in 2001, and then known as the Search for Outstanding Journalists were Sheila Coronel, Jessica Soho, and the late Armando Malay. In 2013, it was re-launched with Malou Mangahas, Jarius Bondoc, and Jiggy Manicad as the awardees.
