Let’s you select a specific category for featured posts, and manage those selections on the WordPress dashboard.
Most WordPress themes have you manage featured posts by selecting a “Featured” or “Top News” category for your special articles. This method has worked pretty well for both me and others. It’s only downfall is that you must go to edit that post in order to “feature” or “unfeature” it. Well I’m putting an end to that. With this plugin, you can select which posts get featured right on the dashboard.
To put it simply: You can manage categories from the WordPress Dashboard.

<h4>Provided Custom Hooks</h4>
This plugin provides 2 custom filters:
1) Change labels and other arguments passed to register_taxonomy function: 
 add_filter( ‘media_category_args’, ‘my_media_category_args’ );
2) Hooks inside the category postbox HTML used to edit individual file information: 
 add_filter( ‘media_category_html’, ‘my_media_category_html’ );
The use of these hooks are recommended, thus, if the plugin gets deactivated, those hooks will not be called anymore and then you get things consistent and clean.
