Hermes
Creative Award |
Hermes Creative Awards recognizes outstanding
work in the industry while promoting the philanthropic nature of
marketing and communication professionals.
"Our team is extremely honored by this recognition," said
Ed Sharpe, Director of CouryGraph Productions which created KKAT -
IPTV for Glendale Daily Planet. "This award reflects the
quality of our methodology and work of our engineering staff to
implement unique and innovative streaming methods for local
programming on the Internet. Sharpe continued, "I think our
product is a result of the entire city's interest, advice and
participation... " In addition, Sharpe wanted to thank Bill
Schreiner, who collaborated on the engineering aspects of the site.
Bill Schreiner comments" The Glendale Daily Planet, despite
it’s whimsical name, is a serious social/technical experiment in
local journalism...." He continued ". The brainchild of
long time Glendale resident, Ed Sharpe, The Glendale Daily Planet
provides professional quality video journalism at the local level
with global distribution"
Sharpe states " It is not just about showing news and events
today... Archived footage of all of our shows will be put on file
with the appropriate historical societies thus forming a 'time
capsule' of video footage representing this time in the city's
period of dynamic growth.

Schreiner continued: "As a volunteer
engineering and I.T. technical consultant to The Planet, and long
time Internet broadcaster, I consider working with Ed as a privilege
and assisting in this endeavor as a public service: an experiment in
true local democracy. The Glendale Daily Planet should serve as a
prototype for small community Internet TV stations nationwide.
Finally Sharpe wanted to extend his thanks to other people in the
newspaper, radio, television and cable industry that have counseled
him and provided an example of technique and values. "I would
be nothing without them" Sharpe stated.
CouryGraph Productions Won the Gold Hermes Creative Awards (http://www.hermesawards.com)
for its Internet Television Channel KKAT-IPTV,which is an online
news source for Glendale Arizona. The Hermes Creative Award is for
creative professionals and organizations involved in the concept,
writing and design of traditional and emerging media.
"The judges were impressed with the effort and use of
technology in creating a truly 'local' news operation yet allowing
global accessibility online" said Ed Dalheim, chairman,
advisory board, Association of Marketing and Communication
Professionals.
Hermes Creative Awards recognizes outstanding work in the industry
while promoting the philanthropic nature of marketing and
communication professionals. The awards, chosen from 3,000 entries
this year, are administered and judged by the Association of
Marketing and Communication Professionals (http://www.amcpros.com).
The international organization consists of several thousand
marketing, communication, advertising, public relations, media
production and free-lance professionals.
As part of its mission, AMCP fosters and supports the efforts of
creative professionals who contribute their unique talents to public
service and charitable organizations. Hermes entrants are not
charged entry fees to enter work they produced pro bono. In
addition, the efforts of generous marketing and communication
professionals are acknowledged through grants and special
recognition.
Glendale Daily Planet, the parent organization of KKAT-IPTV was
started in 2004 as the first community journalism news site in
Glendale and perhaps all of Arizona. ., Serving The Metro West Side
of the Valley of the Sun, Glendale Daily Planet has witnessed,
participated in and recorded the further rejuvenation of the
downtown core, the meteoric rise of the 'Glendale Sports Empire' and
the restoration of historic sections of the town.
One aspect Sharpe is most proud of is the ability to have a
continuous 24/7 stream of archived footage in the player but yet,
when a special event arises, have the ability to go live
interrupting the pre-programmed content to cover the event. With the
advent of higher speed EVDO radio cards and compact portable
satellite terminals the options are limitless.
Residents can now catch stories of interest on their schedule,
taking advantage of the on-demand character of Internet media. No
more waiting for 5 or 10pm and no need to program the TiVo.
Important stories remain available, a mouse click away, for years in
the online archives..
The work of Ed Sharpe from CouryGraph Productions and other
participative community journalists and engineering staff may be
viewed, 24-hours a day, seven days a week at
