The Hindu won first place in the Best Brand Awareness Campaign category at the INMA Global Media Awards 2026 for its 'Written By Journalists' initiative, while its 'Made of Chennai' campaign took third place in the Best Event to Build a News Brand category. The awards were announced on May 9, 2026, recognizing innovative strategies in audience engagement and brand development within the global news industry.
The 'Written By Journalists' campaign emphasized the value of credible, fact-based reporting amid rising misinformation, highlighting The Hindu's editorial integrity and journalistic experience. The 'Made of Chennai' campaign celebrated the city's cultural identity through community-driven events, bringing together local voices from arts, business, and civic life.
L.V. Navaneeth, CEO of The Hindu Group, said the awards reflect the organization's commitment to creative, impactful storytelling that strengthens public trust. Editor Suresh Nambath stated the recognition affirms the publication's long-standing values of credible journalism and community connection.
The Hindu will integrate insights from the campaigns into future audience engagement strategies, with both initiatives set to continue in expanded formats later this year.
