Call for Nominations: Anthony Shadid Award for Journalism Ethics

Now in its 15th year, the Shadid Award recognizes ethical decisions in reporting stories in any medium, including print, broadcast and digital, by journalists working for established news organizations or publishing independently.

The Shadid Award is different from other journalism prizes in that it seeks to recognize the difficult, behind-the-scenes decisions reporters make in pursuing high-impact stories and in fulfilling their ethical obligations to sources, to people caught up in news events, and to the public at large.

Prize Information

• The Shadid Award includes a $5,000 prize and travel expenses to accept the award and discuss the reporting at an awards ceremony held in Washington, DC in the spring.

Eligibility Criteria

• The award focuses on current journalism and does not include books, documentaries and other long-term projects.
• Entries should involve reporting done for stories that were published or broadcast in 2023.
• Individuals or news organizations may nominate themselves or others.
• A single news organization can submit no more than three nominations.
