The Global Health Excellence in Media Award is given each year to a journalist (print, electronic, or visual) who has in the prior year most effectively captured the essence of a major issue in global health and conveyed it to a broad audience.

The Global Health Council recognizes the vital role played by the media in informing the public as well as decision-makers, and seek through this award to highlight the important contributions to understanding and action made by the winner of the award.

Selection of the awardee is based on the quality of the reporting as well as its wide reach among readers and viewers.
