Honoring the best of American Journalism


The Scripps Howard Awards are one of the nation’s most prestigious American journalism competitions, offering $170,000 in prize money in 15 categories.

With a focus on high-impact reporting, the awards recognize journalism that spurs action, news organizations that go the extra mile to expose previously undisclosed or misunderstood information and journalists who embrace new tools, channels, technologies and approaches to provide more immersive experiences for their audiences.

The Scripps Howard Awards honor work from television stations, networks, radio and podcasts, visual media, online media outlets, independent producers, newspapers and print publications.

RECENT WINNERS

The Scripps Howard Awards have been celebrating the best in American journalism for 69 years, with past winners representing some of the most important journalism of recent times. Recent Scripps Howard Award winners include ABC News, ProPublica, The Texas Tribune, The Boston Globe, Miami Herald, ICIJ, The Washington Post, Frontline (PBS) and others. The 2021 Impact Award, chosen from the winners across all categories, went to ICIJ, The Washington Post and media partners for “Pandora Papers”. The massive, data-driven investigation enlightened the globe on how people in powerful positions wield money and power in a way that threatens the survival of fragile democracies. As a result of the investigation, world leaders have been held accountable and voted out of office, governments have collapsed, investigations were launched and money laundering laws have been reformed.
