The Institute on Political Journalism (IPJ) will host its annual Journalism Award Luncheon on Tuesday July 15 at the National Press Club in Washington. IPJ sponsors three awards that recognize journalists from across the country for excellence in economic, investigative, and collegiate reporting. Cash prizes accompanying the awards total nearly $30,000, among the largest annual cash prizes in journalism.
The Clark Mollenhoff Award for Excellence in Investigative Reporting will be awarded to the reporters David Heath and Hal Bernton from The Seattle Times. Their series "The Favor Factory" is a groundbreaking blend of print and online investigative journalism. They reveal a system in which congressional members secure funds for companies and get generous campaign contributions in return. This prize is named for the late Pulitzer-Prize winning reporter who conducted groundbreaking investigations into the influence of organized crime in American society and carries a $10,000 prize.
