Bauer Media handing out an award to itself, when its people were three-fifths of the finalists in that category… WTF is that about?!

I really don’t get how they can be number one…Their proof readers should be sacked. I read news.com.au and in nearly every single article, there are spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes, words written twice in a row or left out completely. The award should have gone to someone that actually checks proofreads their stories before putting them out to the world.

Hi Disgusted,
To be clear, our jurors do not vote on entries from their own companies at either shortlisting or final round stages. They declare an interest and don’t score that entry, and we then average the scores across the rest of the jury so nobody is disadvantaged.
In the category you’re referring to, the juror went a step further. She participated in the shortlisting process only (with the exception of her own company’s entries). And when the shortlist was announced with three of her own company staff on the list she stepped back from being involved in that final round of judging altogether.
When it comes to the awards night, we invite one of our jurors to make the announcement. Because we total up individual jurors’ scores ourselves, the first they know who the winner is, is when they open the envelope.
However, we should not have asked her to announce the winner, given that it was one of her colleagues. That was on us, and I apologise.
Cheers,
Tim – Mumbrella
most entries on every category, have to be a winner when odds are stacked!!
