LONDON, February 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

We are delighted to announce the release of the shortlist for the British Media Awards 2016. The 5th incarnation of the now established awards ceremony once again looks to highlight excellence and innovation within the British media industry.

This year's shortlist showcases impressive innovation in how social media, video and other new distribution channels are being utilised to drive revenue growth. From becoming increasingly important in generating subscription revenue, to driving engagement with key demographics these new channels have taken centre stage in some of this year's most compelling entries.

Iain Brown, TheMediaBriefing General Manager said "This year's entries provide a window on how the media landscape has shifted over the past 12 months. Publishers are waking up to less conventional ways in which to distribute their content and seeing greater returns using less traditional channels. They really showcase the ingenuity of British Media companies and how we are leading the way in the global media industry."
