NEWS STORIES WANTED, $30,000 CASH PRIZES TO BE AWARDED

The Institute on Political Journalism is now accepting submissions for its 2009 journalism awards. Prizes are awarded annually for the best newspaper or magazine stories in three categories: investigative, economic and collegiate. Cash prizes accompanying the awards total nearly $30,000, among the largest annual cash prizes in journalism.

Professional writers or writing teams may apply for either the Clark Mollenhoff Award for Investigative Reporting or the Award for Excellence in Economic Reporting. Collegiate journalists may submit an entry for the Robert Novak Collegiate Journalism Award.

All awards are sponsored by IPJ, an intensive summer study and internship opportunity in Washington, D.C. This 8-week program is designed for students looking for professional, hands-on training in print or broadcast journalism.

IPJ is sponsored by The Fund for American Studies in cooperation with Georgetown University. Each year, approximately 100 of the nation's brightest college journalists are chosen to spend the summer in Washington, D.C. at The Institute on Political Journalism. They intern at major news organizations throughout the nation's capital, attend site briefings at various government institutions, hear lectures from Washington's leading reporters and editors and take courses in economics, ethics and leadership at Georgetown.

For more information on the 2008 Institute on Political Journalism Awards, please contact IPJ Director Joe Starrs at jstarrs@TFAS.org.
