The 2006 Newzees Awards, the annual fundraiser for the Grand Rapids Institute for Information Democracy (GRIID), will take place on December 8, 2006. The Newzees will highlight the "best of the worst" of local television news reporting which in past years has meant stories about cats locked in houses, Osama bin-Laden urinal covers, and a slew of product placements. After watching the worst clips in a variety of categories, the audience will be able to vote for the worst story for each category. It's always an entertaining way to celebrate the important work that GRIID does, from their election coverage projects to maintaining the Progressive Directy of Western Michigan. In order to get people excited about the Awards--which will take place at 7:00pm at the Wealthy Theatre--GRIID has produced the following trailer:
