"Awards would be given in 25 categories, from "Best Scoop" to "Writer of the Year" to "Rising Journalist." There are also categories for beat reporting (in culture and lifestyle, in news) and editor of the year (culture and lifestyle, news, audio/visual). The finalists in each category would be selected by "relevant committees of editors," and the masthead would then choose the winners."
"as staff were invited to join virtually to "raise a glass to the winners" - who will receive a cash prize - on the evening of February 10. "Unfortunately, we can't accommodate the entire company at the event," publisher A. G. Sulzberger explained in a previous email. "We'll have room for finalists and winners, as well as their editors. The event will be livestreamed so that the rest of the newsroom and company can be part of the celebration as well.""
The New York Times instituted the inaugural Ochs Awards with company-wide nominations for 25 categories, excluding masthead positions and desk heads. Relevant committees of editors will select finalists, and the masthead will choose winners who will receive cash prizes. The finalists will attend a limited in-person event on February 10 that will be livestreamed for the rest of the company. Some staff reacted skeptically and rolled their eyes, calling the initiative odd and criticizing the outcome as favoring the usual prominent figures. The awards aim to recognize a broader group beyond top prize winners and media personalities.
