Each November, the International Center for Journalists honors outstanding colleagues with the Knight International Journalism Award at our annual gala in Washington, D.C. We’re now seeking nominees who, despite difficult circumstances, produce pioneering news reports or innovations that have great impact. Candidates can be reporters, editors, technologists, media managers, citizen journalists or bloggers. Please send in your nominations by Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2016.

The award reflects the mission of ICFJ's Knight International Journalism Fellowships, which foster a global culture of news innovation. The program is supported by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

The winners will be honored at ICFJ’s Awards Dinner in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 14, 2016. For more information on the awards, please send an email to nominations@icfj.org.
