about this year's awards
The judging for the 2023 awards was under the supervision of the Newspaper Managers Association, which is the national organization of the state press associations in the U.S. This organization regularly judges journalism contests across America. Six press association managers were chosen to judge the awards: Michelle Rea from New York; Mark Maassen from Missouri; Brian Allfrey from Utah; Layne Bruce from Mississippi; Emily Bradbury from Kansas; and Ashley Kemp Wimberley from Arkansas.
The trustees of the Center accepted all the winners and finalists recommended by the judges.
There were 102 entries submitted by the deadline of March 1. Unfortunately, there was only a single entry for broadcast reporting, so that money will be used to establish an endowment for these awards.
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 Taylor Family Award for Fairness in Journalism was established by the longtime owners of the Boston Globe and is now administered by the Neiman Foundation at Harvard. Other than this award, we are not aware of any other nationwide award for reporting that is fair, as well as impartial and objective. The winner of the Taylor Award receives $10,000, while second and third place finalists receive $1,000.
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.
