Emma Winchurch-Beale, President of the World Media Group and International Sales Director at the Washington Post comments, “The World Media Awards and World Media Group’s success stems from the rise in the importance of good quality journalism and the realization that branded content is both elevated and absorbed more when positioned within a contextually relevant environment. Context and trust are essential components that help to both disrupt and engage consumers, who are subjected daily to a blizzard of information.”
