GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Independent Journalism
The GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Independent Journalism is an annual award that honors blogs and independent online journalism for excellence in the depiction of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) news and commentary. It is one of several categories of the annual GLAAD Media Awards, which are presented by GLAAD—an American non-governmental media monitoring organization founded in 1985—at ceremonies in New York City and Los Angeles between March and May.[1]
The award was first given in 2011 as the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Blog at the 22nd Awards to Joe Jervis, writer of Joe.My.God. The award was renamed for the 36th GLAAD Media Awards to be held in 2025.
