Awards
The Payne Awards for Ethics in Journalism honor journalists who encourage public trust in the media by courageously practicing the highest standards of the profession in the face of political or economic pressures.
The Payne Awards seek entries from news organizations, individual journalists and student journalists in broadcasting, print or new media.
Nominations are being accepted until February 26, 2010, for stories published or decisions made in 2009. Journalists and outlets can nominate themselves or be nominated by a third party.

We've revamped the audio and video categories, and we welcome Web audio and video entries. For the first time, citizen journalists and reporters from online-only news sites are eligible to apply.
First-place winners receive $1,000 and will be honored at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. Casey Medalists are automatically considered for two additional $5,000 awards presented by the America's Promise Alliance.
