Media Recognition

About

This award is designed to recognize individuals in the media who have made a consistent effort to highlight school athletics in their reporting. The nominee has consistently gone above and beyond in drawing attention to and supporting high school athletics issues through their articles/submissions.

History

In 2000, the ASAA introduced a media recognition award to be presented annually at the ASAA’s Annual General Meeting. As there is generally not a great deal of coverage of high school sports in the media, the Executive felt it important to draw attention to those print, radio or TV journalists who make the effort to recognize high school student athletes, coaches and schools.
