TVNewsCheck has introduced its Social Media Excellence Awards to honor broadcasters’ exceptional innovation, creativity and audience engagement on Facebook.

WTVT, the Fox O&O in Tampa, Florida, won first place in the large market category by focusing on unique Florida features, call to action stories and an engaging weatherman.

John Hoffman, WTVT’s news director, said the #WeLiveHere Facebook series is one area that seems to get high engagement with the station’s local users.

Winners were selected by a panel of judges from an initial pool of nominees culled from Social News Desk’s live database of 12,000 local news Facebook pages.

Social News Desk calculated 15 million posts by those pages and identified those with the highest engagement per post as nominees in the awards’ four categories.

After accepting their awards, winners will participate in a panel discussion moderated by Kim Wilson, president and founder of Social News Desk.
