Nickel Asia, media group partner for civic journalism programs

By: PR June 24,2015 - 12:32 PM

For almost two decades, the Philippine Press Institute (PPI), also known as the national association of newspapers, has awarded the best in community journalism in the Philippines through its Civic Journalism Community Press Awards.

Its annual National Press Forum has also become a venue for discussions of pertinent global, national and local media issues.

In 2016, the Institute is proud to have Nickel Asia Corp. (NAC) as its new partner for Civic Journalism—a flagship program of the PPI aimed at “building better communities.”

“Nickel Asia is happy to be a principal partner of PPI. We are proud to join PPI in recognizing outstanding journalism among community newspapers across the country,” said Jose Bayani Baylon, NAC’s vice president for corporate communications during the 2014 Civic Journalism Awards last May 16 in Manila.

In the last awards season, NAC partially supported both the conference and the awards. Baylon also served as a member in the national board of judges.

“PPI is thankful for Nickel Asia’s support in the Awards, which honor community news organizations not only for editorial excellence but also for their role as catalysts for community development,” said PPI executive director Ariel Sebellino.

He added that the partnership with NAC also includes seminars on reporting elections and civic journalism.
