Lynch Award honors regional coverage of Congress

National Press Club members who cover Congress should take note of an upcoming contest deadline for the David Lynch Memorial Regional Reporting Award. The deadline is Dec. 10 at 5 p.m.

The award is given to Washington-based news reporters who cover Congress with an eye toward explaining coverage for a regional audience. The competition is open to any reporter for a daily newspaper, online publication or wire service who qualifies for membership in the Congressional Press Galleries. The award is administered by the Washington Press Club Foundation and the Standing Committee of Correspondents and includes a $3,000 cash prize. The winner will be recognized at the Washington Press Club Foundation dinner on Feb. 5, 2014.
