A lot of us spend time at the end of the year cleaning up old files and sorting out stories and notes.
This is also the perfect time to identify your best contributions to journalism. Before you put that great story away in your clippings file, mark it for entry in the SPJ DC Dateline Awards.
Each year the Washington, DC, chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists honors the best in local journalism. The details for the 2015 entries will soon be available at this site, so stay tuned.
