To Journalists Across Southern California:
In the face of the continuing downsizing of news rooms by newspapers and commercial
broadcast stations in 2011, journalists in Southern California produced quality
journalism and award-winning stories.
Online, reporters and editors are increasing their skills in the effective use of blogging
and the social media. "Hyperlocal" is the new buzz word.
Now the LA Press Club's 54th Annual SoCal Journalism Awards is looking for the best
journalism produced in the Southland during 2011.
"Winner of an LA Press Club Award" will add luster to any resume!
New fees and categories this year:
Lower fees for Journalists of the Year...addition of Best Print and Best Broadcast
website...and Best Videographer.
Newer categories include best news tweet or tweets, best Facebook presence, cause/
advocacy journalism and expanded opportunities to compete in student media.
And because for many journos the economy has yet to return, we’re offering a moneysaving,
early bird deadline. Enter before 5pm Wednesday, Feb.29th at a reduced rate.
Entries made after will pay a premium.
Final deadline is Friday, March 30 at 5pm.
Your entry will be once again judged by volunteer members of press clubs around the
nation.
Finalists are invited to the Awards Gala in the legendary Crystal Ballroom at the historicBiltmore Hotel in downtown L.A. on Sunday June 24 where we will be honoring Bob
Woodward and Carl Bernstein on the 40th anniversary of Watergate.
I’m looking forward to seeing you there.
Good Luck!
Will Lewis
President
Los Angeles Press Club
