About Mirror Awards 2024 for Journalists

Now in their 18th year, the Mirror Awards recognize the best reporting, analysis and commentary covering the media industry and its role in our economy, culture and democracy. Established by Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications in 2006, the awards honor the reporters, producers, editors and teams of writers who hold a mirror to their own industry for the public’s benefit.

Eligibility

The Mirror Awards are open to anyone who conducts professional reporting, commentary or criticism of the media industry—television, newspaper, magazine, radio, advertising, public relations, the internet and other forms of content-rich digital communications.

Works eligible for consideration are print, broadcast and online editorial content, including material published in consumer and trade magazines; local and national newspapers; local, national or syndicated radio and television features and programs; online local, national or syndicated radio and television features and programs; and online publications, blogs and websites. Works must have been published or broadcast between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2023.

The subject matter of entries should focus on the business, people, processes and regulations involved in the development or distribution of news and entertainment content. Television reviews, film reviews, fictional works and books are not eligible.

Evaluation Criteria

Entries will be evaluated based on three criteria:

  • Excellence of craft: What is the overall quality of the writing and newsgathering that goes into each piece? This includes careful attention to sourcing.
  • Framing of the issue: Does the author use the story to provide a broader perspective on the media and its societal role?
  • Appropriateness for the intended audience: Does the author use language and examples that will make sense to their audience? It is expected, for example, that articles published for a trade audience will be somewhat more technical in tone than those for consumer magazines.
