    CANNES, France --

    Lions Health, the new two-day festival for creativity in healthcare communications, is introducing the ‘Lions Health United Nations Foundation Grand Prix for Good’ award to honor the best entry for a charity, public service or NGO.

    A select jury of seven members will review all the Gold Lion winning work chosen by both the Health & Wellness and Pharma juries and award one outstanding entry for a not-for-profit client to be presented with the accolade.

    The Grand Prix for Good jury will include Kathy Calvin, president and CEO, United Nations Foundation; Health & Wellness jury president Kathy Delaney, global chief creative officer of Saatchi & Saatchi Wellness; Pharma jury president Jeremy Perrott, global chief creative officer of McCann Health; and four other members selected from the two Lions Health juries.

    The winner of this prestigious honor will be revealed during the Lions Health awards in Cannes, France, on Saturday, June 14, and presented with the trophy by the UN Foundation’s Kathy Calvin.

    Terry Savage, chairman of Lions Festivals, says, “The United Nations Foundation supports the UN and connects people, ideas, and resources to help the UN solve global problems. As such, we could not wish for a better partner for this award as the Foundation’s values truly reflect the principles of this accolade – brave, innovative and life-changing.” 

    “By celebrating creativity that improves health and wellness around the world, Lions Health is drawing attention to the best work being done to help create stronger, healthier families and communities,” said Calvin. “Recognising the best of the best with this new award will help us all as we strive for innovative approaches to global challenges.”

    The winner of the Lions Health United Nations Foundation Grand Prix for Good will earn ten points which will contribute towards the calculation of the Lions Health Network of the Year and Agency of the Year awards.

    The Lions Health Awards honor the world’s most creative and impactful healthcare communication ideas that have overcome the unique challenges faced by healthcare brands. The Lions Health Festival offers an unmissable learning opportunity with an unparalleled world-class thought-leadership programme and is a global meeting place where healthcare and communications professionals come together to raise the bar of creative excellence in the industry.




    CNN is announcing layoffs as part of a further shift to digital business

    CNN expects to lay off about 200 people as part of a restructuring announced on Thursday that pivots the news organization toward a more digitally oriented future.

    The company's CEO, Mark Thompson, said he expects the job cuts in CNN's television business to eventually be offset by new hires for the digital plans, which include a series of subscription products.

    Thompson has been signaling the move ever since taking over at CNN more than a year ago. The network's ratings have been tumbling, particularly after President Donald Trump's election.

    "Our objective is a simple one: to shift CNN's gravity towards the platforms and products where the audience themselves are shifting," Thompson said in a memo to CNN staff.

    Thompson said the goal is to develop a way for digital subscribers to stream news programming on any of their devices. Corporate parent Warner Bros. Discovery is kicking in $70 million to implement the new plans, he said.

    CNN is also planning to announce changes to its television lineup, expected to include a move of Wolf Blitzer to a morning show.
