Formal announcement is coming next week, but NIU is seeking nominations for the Illinois Journalist of the Year award, given annually at our journalism banquet in April. Here are the award criteria:
The Illinois Journalist of the Year award is presented annually by the Department of Communication of Northern Illinois University to a person who has made a significant contribution to the mass media or, through them, to the public they serve, either as a result of a single accomplishment during the past year, or through a sustained effort over a longer period of time.
Any journalist employed by an Illinois mass medium, or any Illinois resident associated with a national medium serving the people of Illinois, is eligible to receive the award.
I'll post the official nomination form next week, but in the meantime, please think about nominating a deserving journalist. The deadline for nominations will be Friday, March 21. Your contact here at NIU is Dr. Bill Cassidy, 815-753-1711, or bcassidy@niu.edu.
