Get to Know the 2016 Broadcast Media Nominees
JBF Editors
Just as the dialogue around food has expanded beyond what’s on our plates, the subjects dissected in food media have grown to include the political, the personal, and even the philosophical. Fittingly, the 2016 JBF Broadcast Media Award nominees provide us with many serious topics to ponder, and there's still plenty of content for those of you who are looking for something that's simply delicious.
Find clips from our nominees below. Be sure to be following us on Tuesday, April 26, when we announce the winners at the Book, Broadcast & Journalism Awards in New York City.
