Journalism award for fairness in news coverage

Journalists can now apply for the Neiman Foundation for Journalism's 2008 Taylor Family Award for Fairness in Newspapers.

The award, which carries a $10,000 prize and is administered by the Neiman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University, encourages fairness in news coverage by America's daily newspapers. Second and third place finalists will each receive $1,000.

The award was established through an endowment by members of the Taylor family, who published The Boston Globe from 1872 to 1999.

Nominations may be a single story, a photograph, an editorial or a commentary; a series of stories, photographs, editorials or commentaries; or a body of work by an individual journalist. Entries must be postmarked no later than Friday, Jan. 18, 2008, for work published in a U.S. daily newspaper during the previous calendar year.
