DAME’s first outing was on March 20, 1992. Eight awards in print journalism were given to deserving professionals.

In his address of welcome at the 29th edition, the Editor-in-Chief of Media Review, Mr Lanre Idowu, said that DAME held in 2020 in spite of challenges because it was important to keep its dream going.

He said that DAME had brought hope, joy, fulfillment and recognition to many media professionals.

“In the face of the menace of fakery in news dissemination and technological liberalisation of access which makes everyone a reporter, editor and publisher, it is critical to continue to stress the vital role journalists play in serving the public with news that they can trust.

“It is essential to separate the wheat from the shaft by honouring our committed and enterprising media professionals.

“We believe, by so doing, we are renewing faith in our society, encouraging hope for a greater tomorrow and keeping alive the dream for a better practice, ” Idowu said.

Speaking to NAN, the visually impaired, Ogundare, expressed joy that he won the DAME for the second time.

The journalist, who had been practising for 18 years, noted that he emerged DAME’s Child-Friendly Reporter of the year 2016.

“I feel very excited; it is a lot of motivation for blind journalists like me to make impacts and not discouraged by their disability,” he said.

A participant at the event who pleaded anonymity told NAN that DAME had done much to draw the attention of media professionals to their roles as keepers of public conscience.

She said that DAME was a strong platform for any journalist to develop himself and earn recognition.
