California Journalism Awards
The California Journalism Awards were established in 1994 by the Center for California Studies to recognize, encourage, and reward excellence in reporting of California state government and politics. The Center gives five awards: two for excellence in print journalism (one for daily coverage and one for special feature/enterprise reporting); one for excellence in radio journalism; one for excellence in television; and the Katharine M. Macdonald Award for excellence in student journalism. Winners are announced at the annual Journalism Awards Luncheon, either at the Annual Envisioning Conference (even numbered years) or at a luncheon alone, usually in February or September.
SAVE THE DATE! - The 16th Annual California Journalism Awards will be held on February 17, 2010
