Apply: Casey Medals for Meritorious Journalism

Posted on | March 24, 2012 | No Comments

Did you write, report, pro­duce, shoot, or cre­ate a pow­er­ful piece of journalism/media in
2011 about the lives of chil­dren, youth and fam­i­lies in the U.S.? If so, you should sub­mit this work to the 2012 Casey Medals for Mer­i­to­ri­ous Jour­nal­ism, a project of the Jour­nal­ism Cen­ter on Chil­dren & Fam­i­lies, funded by the Annie E. Casey Foun­da­tion. The dead­line for appli­ca­tions is April 20.

Think back to last year. Did you hear, see, watch or read some­thing about young peo­ple or par­ents that got under your skin and stayed there? Please tell the maker to apply for a Casey Medal. Win­ners in a dozen cat­e­gories are awarded $1000 at a cer­e­mony in D.C. in Octo­ber and will also be con­sid­ered for $5000 prizes from America’s Promise Alliance. Check out the appli­ca­tion and guide­lines at journalismcenter.org. New this year: Youth Media category.

        Is there life – or work – after news­pa­pers? A lot of us are in the process of find­ing out. Because it’s gen­er­ally a some­what lonely endeavor, it struck me, in Jan­u­ary 2010, that it might be com­fort­ing – and pos­si­bly very pro­duc­tive – to go through it together.

        Dis­placed Jour­nal­ists is a com­mu­nity – our com­mu­nity – where we find com­mon ground, where we can begin to pick our­selves up, dust our­selves off and get on with our lives and liveli­hoods. [more]
