2008 RNA Awards for Religion Reporting Excellence
The Religion Newswriters Association each year hosts several contests for religion reporters in the news media, with nearly $10,000 awarded in prizes.
Eligibility
It is the intent of the Religion Newswriters Association annual contests
to recognize journalism excellence in general circulation newspapers, news magazines,
news wire services, radio and television. The contests are designed to measure a journalist's
grasp on a diversity of religion issues. Religious media, including media
whose goal is to support or promote a particular religion, faith community
or religious group, are not eligible to participate in RNA contests. If
you have questions about your eligibility, please call (614) 891-9001, ext. 2#,
or e-mail McCallen@RNA.org.
In addition:
• All journalists who work for general circulation/audience media outlets are
eligible to enter. RNA membership is NOT required for entry.
• RNA's president and vice president are not eligible to enter individual
contests.
• Entries will not be returned.
For all contests except the Chandler Award, stories published/aired only in the 2007 calendar year are eligible for the 2008 RNA contests. For the Chandler Award, stories published in the 2007–2008 academic year are eligible.
