After announcing the nominees, Acevedo specified that, like every year, the “Grand National Prize for Digital Journalism” will also be awarded, which will be awarded to a journalist who has extensive experience in digital media and who has promoted the sector. For this year, that award will be named after the late veteran journalist Robert Vargas, as announced in the previous award.
The evaluation criteria for the National Digital Journalism Award are: quality of content, trajectory, media impact and application of digital journalism resources in the structuring of the managed platform and content.
It is an initiative of the Dominican Digital Media Observatory that seeks to recognize journalistic works, digital media workers, journalists and digital media that have persisted in the search to generate #BetterContentforInternet, a fundamental objective of the Dominican Digital Media Observatory.
