NPC Journalism Awards: Consumer Journalism Award
The Consumer Journalism awards recognize excellence in reporting on consumer topics. Judges will look more favorably on solution-oriented or strategic-oriented pieces that prompt action by consumers, the community, the government or an individual.
Entry Requirements:
- A single article or broadcast or a series of related articles or broadcasts that will be judged as a unit.
- If the entry is a continuing column, no more than five examples should be submitted.
- Detail in the cover letter how the piece or series resulted in action by consumers, the government, the community or an individual.
Prize: $750
General Eligibility: Through these awards, the National Press Club seeks to recognize and honor professional journalists who have produced outstanding work for the public, either independently or as employees of editorially independent news entities. In all cases, judges will give weight to demonstration of individual enterprise, fairness, accuracy, and objectivity. Content produced for house organs, pamphlets, theses or reports will not be considered, nor will advocacy outlets of interest groups such as trade associations, consumer organizations or government agencies. Entries may be submitted by either journalists or their employers. Non-traditional entrants are free to explain in supporting materials how they meet these journalistic criteria, and should submit a statement explaining their editorial independence.
