The Sidney Hillman Foundation is now accepting nominations for the 2016 Hillman Prize honoring excellence in journalism in the public interest.
The Hillman Prize seeks out top investigative reporting that draws attention to social or economic injustice and hopefully leads to corrective measures.The goal is to recognize discernment of a significant news story, resourcefulness and courage in reporting, skill in relating the story and the impact of the coverage.
The received-by deadline for all submissions will be January 30, 2016. Nominations can be submitted here.
The Sidney Hillman Foundation has sought to illuminate the great issues of the day—from the search for a basis for lasting peace, to the need for better housing, medical care, and employment security for all people, the promotion of civil liberties and the battle against discrimination based on race, nationality, or religion.
