Finalists for the 73rd Scripps Howard Journalism Awards will be announced in the spring. In addition to the prize money and a trophy, award winners will receive a travel stipend/honorarium to visit a university and present their entry to journalism students.
“Journalists document the events and lives that define our era. We honor the courage, curiosity and craft that create this lasting record – work that informs, illuminates and endures,” said Mike Canan, senior director of journalism strategies for the Scripps Howard Fund. “We look forward to recognizing bold, inventive reporting across all platforms and helping winners amplify their stories and share lessons with the next generation.”
The Impact Award winner is chosen from the winners of the other 11 categories. Last year’s Impact Award recipient – STAT’s “Health Care’s Colossus” – revealed an empire that profits at the expense of taxpayers, patients and clinicians.
