Broadcast Media Awards for Television

The Broadcast Media Awards for Television recognize outstanding reporting and programming on television and cable television that deal with reading and literacy, recognize the value of reading in today’s society, and/or promote reading as a lifetime habit. Entries must be oriented toward the general public rather than professionals in reading education, and should be informational, critical, or motivational rather than instructional. Association members can encourage entries by notifying broadcast media personnel that a program is appropriate for consideration.

For information, contact the Public Information Office.
