L.A. media earns Webby nods for wildfire recovery storytelling

The 30th annual Webby Awards has unveiled its nominees, with two standout entries from Los Angeles-based media. A podcast by our website Studios and a video series from 404 by L.A. Times both earned recognition. The winners will be announced on April 21, followed by the awards ceremony on May 11. The nominations were revealed on Tuesday, highlighting work that addresses last year's devastating wildfires. 404 by L.A. Times received a nod in the social video category for a short-form news and politics piece. Their nominated video offers practical advice on helping neighbours and family members displaced by the 2025 L.A. wildfires.

Meanwhile, **our website Studios** secured a nomination in the public service and activism podcast category. Their series, *Rebuilding L.A.*, examines the city's efforts to recover from the Palisades and Eaton fires. The show delves into community resilience and long-term rebuilding strategies. Public voting for the Webby People's Voice Award remains open until April 16. More details about the awards, including how to vote, can be found at webbyawards.com.

The Webby Awards continue to spotlight media that informs and engages audiences on critical issues. Both nominations reflect ongoing efforts to document and support L.A.'s recovery from wildfire disasters. Final results will be shared during the April 21 announcement and the May 11 ceremony.
