Journoz: Updates for Australian Journalists

New Australian journalism prize

The Australasian Society for the Study of Obesity (http://www.asso.org.au/) is inviting Australian journalists to submit stories to their inaugural award for excellence in obesity journalism. The award recognises Australian journalists who have reported on obesity issues in a way that not only raises awareness levels, but also clearly presents obesity as a disease, rather than an issue of aesthetics. Stories are invited across all journalistic media (print, radio, and television) in two categories - healthcare and consumer. To be eligible, stories should have been published or broadcast in the Australian media between 1 September 2002 and 31 August 2003. The winner of each category will be awarded with a return business class flight to the 2003 European Congress on Obesity being held in Prague in May 2004 and will be presented with their award at the ASSO scientific meeting to be held in NSW this October. Full details, judging criteria and entry forms can be found at the site. Posted by belinda at July 15, 2003 09:11 AM
