Worth Bingham Prize |
|
The Worth Bingham Prize for investigative journalism will be awarded on February 22, 2007 on the 40th anniversary of the establishment of this award. Named for Worth Bingham, a crusading reporter who died in 1966 just on the cusp of a brilliant career, the prestigious $10,000 prize honors newspaper or magazine investigative reporting on stories of national significance where the public interest is being ill-served. Stories must have been published in the 2006 calendar year. These stories may involve state, local or national government, lobbyists or the press itself wherever there exists that "atmosphere of easy tolerance" that Worth Bingham himself once described in his reporting on the nation's capital. The investigative reporting may cover actual violations of the law, rule or code; lax or ineffective administration or enforcement; or activities which, while not specific violations of anything on the statute books, create conflicts of interest, entail excessive secrecy or otherwise raise questions of propriety. Judges are guided by such factors as the reporting enterprise, obstacles overcome in getting information, accuracy, clarity of analysis and writing style, magnitude of the situation, and impact on the public, including any reforms that may have resulted. The winners of the 2006 Worth Bingham Prize were Washington Post reporters, Susan Schmidt, James V. Grimaldi, and R. Jeffrey Smith, for their investigation of the lobbying practices and influence of Jack Abramoff. |
|
Prize: |
The Worth Bingham Prize will be awarded at the National Press Foundation's 24th Annual Awards Dinner in Washington, DC on February 22, 2007. |

MS Public Education Awards (PEA) |

Founded in 1974, the MS Public Education Awards recognize journalists and editors for outstanding articles or programs about multiple sclerosis, efforts to find its cause and cure, and the people that this devastating disease affects. With at least 400,000 Americans living with MS and someone being newly diagnosed every hour of everyday, multiple sclerosis is a major national health problem. Unfortunately, because of the complexity of the disease is not well understood by the general public, which can lead to fear and confusion about what it means to live with MS. Through the PEA, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society would like to recognize the journalists and editors who bring information about MS to the public and work hard to dispel the myths surrounding the disease. |

Wistar Institute Science Journalism Award |
|
The Wistar Institute Science Journalism Award aims to honor annually the most insightful and enterprising reporting on the basic biomedical sciences in print or broadcast journalism during the award year. An independent committee of accomplished science and medical journalists will judge the entries. Employees of The Wistar Institute will have no involvement in the judging process. The award-winning work may be direct reporting on a significant research advance, an exploration of the fundamental science underlying a major news story, the identification of an emerging trend in scientific thinking, or a thoughtful investigation of the research process. Journalism that expresses the same kind of skepticism encouraged by science itself will be given particular attention, as will coverage with the prescience to identify and illuminate the significance of research that may appear, at first glance, to be more limited in scope. |
