WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Washington, D.C., Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists held its annual Hall of Fame and Dateline Awards dinner at the National Press Club on Tuesday, June 10, inducting three journalists into its Hall of Fame, honoring its Distinguished Service Award recipient, and announcing the recipients of its 2025 Dateline Awards for journalism excellence. Kojo Nnamdi, host of Public Radio’s Politics Hour, presided as the night’s master of ceremonies.
The SPJ-DC Chapter also announced the full list of winners and finalists in the Dateline Awards across 69 categories, and honored its Hall of Fame inductees Voice of America Director Michael Abramowitz, newsroom diversity advocate Richard Prince, and longtime owner and publisher of The Washington Informer, Denise Rolark Barnes. The Distinguished Service Award, recognizing a journalists’ commitment to the pursuit of excellence in the profession, went to Stephenie Overman, SPJ Region 2 Coordinator, successful freelance writer, and longtime supporter of SPJ’s freelance community.
“This has been a challenging year for all of us. But tonight we celebrate. We are honoring D.C.’s best and brightest, the people who exemplify a profession that strives to be diverse, inclusive and independent,” said SPJ-DC board president Celia Wexler.
Wexler added that the quality of this year’s entries proves that “journalism in the DMV is thriving, despite the political and financial headwinds that buffet our industry.”
A special award – the Robert D.G. Lewis Watchdog Award – is presented each year to an entry – in any category – that best exemplifies journalism aimed at protecting the public from abuses by those who would betray the public trust. The award comes with a prize of $1,000. The award is named in honor of the late Robert D.G. Lewis of Newhouse Newspapers, who was an SPJ national president as well as chairman of its Freedom of Information Committee.
The Watchdog award this year went to Caresse Jackman, Daniela Molina and Owen Hornstein. Their entry, “Lead Out: Investigating the Removal of America’s Lead Pipes” for InvestigateTV/Gray Media, is a thorough investigation into the nation’s water system.
The judges praised “how this story took a look at individual states’ progress on replacing lead pipes” and its “excellent use of public record requests to find out how states are handling or resisting those efforts.”
