DSA Nominations Sought

Each year the Washington, D.C., chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists honors one person for his/her contribution to the development of local journalism, the development of other journalists, contributions to the metropolitan Washington community or to a specific community within the metropolitan area.

Letters of nomination may be made by individuals or groups who need not be members of SPJ. The nominator should describe the candidate’s qualifications and achievements, but is not required to include samples of his/her work.

The executive committee of the chapter board of directors will select the winner, who will be notified in advance and honored at the Dateline Awards banquet, June 9, 2009.

Nominations for the Distinguished Service in Local Journalism Award should be e-mailed to Steve Taylor at taylorsa@comcast.net.
