The Multicultural Media Awards were founded by Lebanese-born Australian Parliamentarian Shaoquett Moselmane.
They were established in 2012 to recognise outstanding journalism covering multicultural issues in Australia.
To clarify an equal onus on Indigenous media, the awards were formally amended in 2014 to include Indigenous in the title.
[1][2][3] In 2017 they were called the NSW Premier's Multicultural Media Awards,[4] and in 2022 the name was NSW Premier's Multicultural Communication Awards.
[5][6] According to the website as of September 2022[update], the NSW Premier's Multicultural Communications Awards, or PMCAs, "recognise excellence in the multicultural media and marketing industry".
