“The media is in a state of constant transition. The way it was produced and consumed in the ’90s is vastly different from what we see today. But one thing has remained constant: the need for original reporting, ethical journalism, and impactful stories. There is always a demand for authentic voices, and this is where DAME comes in,” DAME Award organisers said.
