about this year's awards
The judging for the 2024 awards was under the supervision of the Newspaper Managers Association, which is the national organization of the 50 state press associations in the U.S. This organization regularly judges journalism contests across America.
Six press association executive directors were chosen to judge the awards: Brian Allfrey, Utah Press Association; Emily Bradbury, Kansas Press Association; Layne Bruce, Mississippi Press Association; Lisa Hills, Minnesota Newspaper Association; Michelle Rea, New York Press Association; Ashley Kemp Wimberley, Arkansas Press Association.
The trustees of the Center accepted all the winners and finalists recommended by the judges.
There were 131 entries from 26 states submitted.
The judges' criteria for assessing these entries was the best example of impartial, objective, and fair news reporting. While the monetary awards are given solely to reporters, we acknowledge the editors, researchers and additional colleagues who made contributions to these entries.
The Center for Integrity in News Reporting’s goal is that by rewarding and encouraging this type of reporting, the public will gain more trust in news organizations.
