Recognized for Best Journal Article: What Video Editors Need When Everything Is Changing Around Them
St. Louis, MO – September 13, 2026 – Studio Network Solutions (SNS) has won Best Journal Article at the 2026 IAMT Impact Awards for What Video Editors Need When Everything Is Changing Around Them, published in Issue 138 of the IAMT Journal.
IAMT—the International Association of MediaTech, formerly IABM—presents its Impact Awards each year to honor outstanding achievement across the MediaTech industry, spanning product innovation to thought leadership. The Best Journal Article Award goes to the piece that most clearly articulates a business or technical concept relevant to MediaTech, with genuine potential to inform and move the industry forward.
“It’s an honor to be recognized by IAMT for this article on the AI shift,” said Melanie Ciotti, director of marketing at SNS. “We set out to write about what creative teams really need as the world is changing around them. The results were, surprisingly, human.”
What Video Editors Need When Everything Is Changing Around Them weighs conflicting data on AI adoption in creative work, then turns to what editors themselves say they want most during this industry shift: not tools and new features, but community and mentorship. The judges said the article won easily on relevance and personalization, using meaningful statistics to deliver relatable insight into the changes ahead, and making the future feel less daunting rather than more.
The IAMT Impact Award and the winning article are on display at SNS Stand 7.B22 at IBC 2026 in Amsterdam, alongside SNS’s full lineup of storage, MAM, cloud, AI, review, and archive solutions. The article is available on the SNS blog and in Issue 138 of the IAMT Journal.
