Wall Street Journal, ABC News, and PBS NewsHour win National Press Club Awards
WASHINGTON, DC, July 25, 2023 — The National Press Club President Eileen O’Reilly announced the National Press Club Journalism Awards winners.
The Wall Street Journal took home four awards in various categories, including its coverage of investor-backed telehealth services, photography of Ukrainian soldiers affected by a land mine, an investigation into Southwest Airlines’ role in last year’s holiday travel debacle, and its humorous take on ‘quiet quitting.’
Eileen O’Reilly stated that these awards celebrate exceptional journalism and acknowledge the journalists’ efforts to serve the public. The Nell Minnow Award for Cultural Criticism got awarded for an Insider story that sparked a national conversation on ‘quiet quitting.’ Nick Grube, who covers Washington for Honolulu Civil Beat, won the Washington Regional Reporting category for the second year. His reporting derailed a gubernatorial bid, sparked a congressional ethics organization, and pulled a federal nomination.
ABC News won an award for its breaking news coverage following the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, and PBS NewsHour won for its on-the-ground reporting in Ukraine. The New York Times was awarded the Joan M. Friedenberg Online Journalism Award for its coverage of Ukraine.
The awards dinner will occur at the National Press Club on Wednesday, August 30, 2023. The event will start at 6 p.m. with a reception in the Holeman Lounge, followed by dinner and a program in the ballroom.
