AIPS Sport Media Awards: Young Reporter Top 15

Aips MEDIA

LAUSANNE, December 20, - The AIPS Sport Media Awards presents the "Young Reporter" categories this year. It represents a further effort to boost the careers of young journalists from all over the world. AIPS, which since over a decade has been organising several Young Reporters Programmes worldwide, received nearly 200 professionals under 30 this year, in confirmation of its good reputation within young generations.

"Young Reporter" presents three divided categories: Broadcasting, Photography and Writing. Unlike the senior categories, each of the Young Reporter categories will have a direct winner, who will benefit from a scholarship to cover a major sporting event.

Here is the list of the TOP 15 young reporters under 30 for each category. In case of ties after the two voting sessions, the jury decided to keep alll the pieces of works in the competition.
