National Journalism Awards Videos

Winners of the Scripps Howard Foundation National Journalism Awards were honored at a dinner on May 3, 2011 at the Duke Energy Convention Center in Cincinnati, home of the corporate headquarters for The E.W. Scripps Company and Scripps Howard Foundation, and Scripps ABC affiliate WCPO-TV. It was an extraordinary evening of celebrating great journalism. Cash awards totaling $185,000 and distinctive Scripps Howard Award trophies were presented to the winners.

The awards recognize excellence in 18 categories, including editorial writing; human interest writing; environmental and public service reporting; investigative reporting; business/economics reporting; commentary; photojournalism; radio and television journalism; college cartooning; community journalism; breaking news; Washington reporting; and editorial cartooning. The awards also honor distinguished service to journalism education and the First Amendment.

An awards program book (15.39 MB) features the winners' work, list of finalists, judges and lists of previous winners.

We hope you enjoy the videos featuring the winners' work - the best of 2010 - and their acceptance speeches. (Each video is approximately four minutes in length. Flash player required to play videos.)
