This is a call for nominations for the prestigious Yankee Quill Award. For more than 60 years the New England Academy of Journalists has been honoring our region’s most extraordinary journalists for their contributions to a free press and their efforts to improve the communities they serve with the Yankee Quill Award.
Other journalism associations bestow awards for individual and team accomplishments. The Yankee Quill recognizes the lifetime achievement of those who have had a broad influence for good, both inside and outside the newsroom. This award is not designed as a primary writing award but for long-term good provided to journalism across New England.
The Academy, comprised of all Quill winners and representatives of various New England journalism organizations, gathers annually under the auspices of the New England Society of News Editors Foundation to select the honorees. Winners are chosen from nominees representing newspapers, broadcasting, academia, and other communication forms that meet the test of journalism.
The 2024 honorees were:
- George Brennan
- Ellen Clegg
- Izaskun Larrañeta
- Edward Miller
- Mark Pothier
