RE: Update on Journalism Awards Program
__________________________________________________________
Just wanted to let you know how things are going on this
year's Investment Company Institute-American University
Journalism Awards for Excellence in Personal Finance Reporting.
The entry deadline was March 15, and judging will be
conducted here in Washington on April 14. We have received a
total of 155 entries in the four categories (newspapers,
magazines, TV and radio), compared to 111 last year.
With the help of Lou Kohlmeier at American University, we
have lined up another impressive panel of judges:
Paul Steiger, deputy managing editor, The Wall Street
Journal
Richard Burgheim, assistant managing editor, Money Magazine
Eleanor Prescott, executive producer of business news,
ABC-TV (New York)
Philip Moeller, financial editor, The Baltimore Sun (and
current president of the Society of American
Business Editors and Writers)
Jack Kahn, producer, Nightly Business Report (carried by
over 260 PBS-TV stations every evening)
Susan Thompson, business editor, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Laird Anderson, professor of communications, American
University
We will provide you with a more detailed report at the
Public Information Committee meeting on April 26.
Best regards,
