Illinois Journalist of the Year

NIU is accepting nominations for its annual Illinois Journalist of the Year award. The award is presented annually by the NIU Department of Communication "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 a mass medium, or an Illinois resident associated with a national medium serving the people of Illinois, is eligible to receive the award. The most recent honorees were Scott Strazzante, Chicago Tribune photojournalist (2008); and Bob Frisk, Daily Herald sports writer (2009).

The nomination deadline is March 1, 2010. Details and nomination form.
