The Poynter Institute announced Thursday that it will become the new home for the prestigious awards contest honoring the best journalism in the United States that previously was run by the News Leaders Association.
Poynter will administer the 2024 contest covering work from 2023, with plans to open the awards for entries in January, close entries in mid-February and name winners in April.
Poynter has a long history with the contest, which started in 1979. The awards began as the American Society of Newspaper Editors Distinguished Writing Awards and were inspired by the late Gene Patterson when he was editor of the St. Petersburg Times (now the Tampa Bay Times).
