Institution building—establishment of key communications and media programs, research centers, or academic journals.

Excellence in journalism, whether online or in print—sustained contributions to public service and the highest journalistic principles.

Other media and communication contributions—from time to time the board may present the AMIC Communication Award to media practitioners for outstanding commitment and excellence in their field of endeavor.
