1. [NEW] The Toner Prizes for Excellence in Political Reporting - For Journalists
This competition honors excellence in political reporting. The Prizes go to the best U.S. political reporting on any platform: print, broadcast, or online. Entries must be fact-based reporting, not commentary. Single articles or a body of work are eligible. Each entry is limited to four stories. A news organization may enter more than one reporter or team, but the same reporter or team can be entered only once. Reporters may enter their work but can enter only once. There is no entry fee. Two prizes will be given: One for national and one for local political reporting. Each carries a $5,000 honorarium.
