The finalists were selected by a jury panel, from approximately 600 entries, a record-breaking number of entries compared to previous years.

This is the third consecutive year Sanef has spearheaded the awards across all media platforms. Previously the Awards were organised by Print and Digital Media SA, and later the Publishers’ Support Services.

Says Sanef, "We are proud to acknowledge the substantial representation from diverse media entities, further showing the diversity of voices and narratives that enrich our media landscape.

"Quality news stories from these platforms stood tall alongside contributions from mainstream media establishments, highlighting the depth and breadth of journalistic excellence across all sectors."

The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on 22 June at The Venue, Melrose Arch in Johannesburg. The awards are sponsored by Standard Bank
