People and places that have played important roles in American journalistic history are eligible for awards.
The Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) is accepting nominations for the Historic Sites in Journalism award. The program dates back to 1942 and the sites were originally marked with a bronze marker.
The nomination form should be accompanied by a letter(s) of recommendation that reflects the nominee’s national historic significance in journalism and why the nominee is deserving of this national recognition. Nominations should also include an indication of the specific location (i.e. building, street address, inside or outside installation) where a bronze plaque would be placed.
Honorees will be announced and honored at a special celebration event determined by the award recipient. A bronze plaque will be displayed at the location marking it as a Historic Site in Journalism.
The deadline is April 17.
