International Media Tenor Awards presented

The annual media awards were presented by media research institute Media Tenor as part of the International Agenda Setting Conference. The conference, which has the motto "Manage your Reputation", started on October 11 in Bonn. In contrast to other prizes, the Media Tenor Awards are not awarded on the basis of selective jury decisions. The content and formal appearance of the entire year is used for evaluation.
 
Depending on the category, the criteria for awarding the prize are the amount of reporting, rating, variety of topics, proportion of own statements, degree of personalization of the articles/contributions and proportion of certain particularly important topics or forms of presentation in the overall reporting. The number of citations in other media was also taken into account for the media awards.
