RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE IN JOURNALISM

The NLA Awards continue the long traditions of the previous ASNE and APME Awards, and are among the most prestigious in journalism.

Awards Committee Chair Alison Gerber said, "2021 was a year filled with dramatic news events, and these awards honor the journalists that did tremendous work documenting it despite tremendous obstacles. The awards recognize a variety of news organizations and show that excellent, innovative journalism is being produced across the diverse media ecosystem."

NLA Executive Director Myriam Márquez said: “Once again, the quality of the awards submissions was outstanding and the number of entries continues to grow. Judges were impressed by all the stand-out work in all categories.”

“A hearty congratulations to the winners and finalists of the 2022 News Leaders Association Awards," said Manny García, News Leaders Association President and Executive Editor of the Austin American-Statesman. "The body of work of every entry judged is proof that a vibrant and free press exists to expose abuses of power, correct wrongs, lift spirits and strengthen our communities and country."

The Robert G. McGruder Award for Diversity Leadership and the News Leader of the Year Award recognize an individual leader for her/his work. The winners for those two awards will be announced at the end of this week.
