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"
Bette Sharpe explains " I am
very pleased that our work has been recognized"
"I enjoy photography and it allows me to visually tell
stories that might otherwise go untold.'
Ed Sharpe elaborates "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."
On the certificate for this
judging period were:
Ed Sharpe Editor/Publisher/Engineer ,
Bette Sharpe -
Reporter/Photographer, Lesa Holstein - Book Topics Editor, Jamise
Liddell - Entertainment Editor, Chef Eric Reinert - The Budget
Bistro, Mike
Manning Reporter/Videogrspher, Bill Schreiner -
Associate Engineer and Kimber
Leigh - Reporter
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.
Bette Sharpe stated, "I am very pleased
that our work has been recognized"
"I enjoy photography and it allows me to visually
tell stories that might otherwise go untold."
CouryGraph Productions Won the Platinum 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 video 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 they were one of the
earliest 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 CouryGraph Productions and other participative
community journalists and engineering staff may be viewed,
24-hours a day, seven days a week at www.glendaledailyplanet.com.
