Multi-awarded documentarist Howie Severino, one of the hosts of the Network’s longest-running documentary program I-Witness and co-anchor of GMA News TV’s morning newscast News To Go, received the award for Best in Documentary Reportage for his “excellent and socially relevant documentaries.” He is also the Network’s vice-president for Multimedia Journalism.
The School Press Advisers Movement Inc. aims to “unite campus journalism educators in the Philippines and offer affordable training and eventually reach out to deserving institutions that need assistance in the establishment of their publications or training of their writers.”
