Larry Weiss Award
With the generous support of local business leader Larry Weiss, the Center for Public Interest Journalism (CPIJ) has established an award to recognize the best investigative journalism in the Delaware Valley. The Larry Weiss Award for Investigative Journalism, open to journalism of any medium (print, broadcast or online) produced in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, South Jersey or Delaware, will include one top prize of $10,000 and two “special recognition” prizes of $2,500. There is no fee for submission.
Read the full press release here.
The award is intended to encourage original, enterprising, deeply reported and revelatory news coverage that has had significant impact on the Philadelphia, South Jersey and Delaware communities, particularly stories that generated an increased public awareness about an under recognized social problem; malfeasance in local or state government; waste, fraud and abuse in government agencies or business; or other issues related to advancing the public good.
The awards will be presented at a luncheon at WHYY studios in Philadelphia on Thursday, April 19, 2012.
Entries must be investigative journalism — not advocacy, editorials or opinion. Entries can be in any medium, i.e. print (dailies, weeklies, magazines, etc.), broadcast (TV, radio) or online. Single stories or series are eligible (a story may include text, photos, audio, video and/or graphics). Single authors or reporting teams are eligible. Eligible stories should have been published and/or aired during 2011. The submission deadline is Feb. 15, 2012.
