History
Origins: Ernie Pyle Award
What became the National Journalism Awards were launched in 1953 with the Ernie Pyle Award (originally supported by the Ernie Pyle Memorial Fund). The award is given annually to reporters who "most nearly exemplify the style and craftsmanship for which Ernie Pyle was known".[2] The award was later named the Human Interest Writing Ernie Pyle Award and is now presented as "Excellence in Narrative Human-Interest Storytelling, Honoring Ernie Pyle."
1960s: Edward J. Meeman Environmental Reporting Award
In 1966, Scripps-Howard Newspapers conservation editor Edward J. Meeman died, and the company created the Edward J. Meeman Foundation to support journalism and conservation through grants and awards.[3] The Edward J. Meeman Environmental Reporting Award was given to various journalists beginning 1967, including Ken Ward Jr., Sam Roe, Bruce Ingersoll, James V. Risser, Larry Tye, and Craig Flournoy. In 2022,[4] the award was renamed as "Excellence in Environmental Reporting, honoring Edward W. 'Ted' Scripps II."[lower-alpha 1]
1970s: Public Service, Editorial Writing, and the First Amendment
In 1972, the Public Service Reporting Award, honoring long-time Scripps executive Roy W. Howard, joined the roster. The public service award was originally divided into a newspaper division and a broadcast division. In 1986, the award was restructured to recognize newspapers only, and divided into two categories — under 100,000 and over 100,000 circulation. In 2004, the circulation divisions were eliminated altogether; the award was discontinued after 2016.
In 1973, the Editorial Writing Walker Stone Award, joined the list of Scripps Howard awards. Later known as the Walker Stone Award for Opinion Writing, it was named in honor of Walker Stone (1905–1973), editor-in-chief of Scripps-Howard Newspapers.[6]
In 1976, the First Amendment Edward Willis Scripps Award joined the roster of awards. "Given to the editor of the winning newspaper for distribution to the individual or individuals on the staff who contributed most significantly to the cause of the First Amendment guarantee of a free press,"[7] the award is now known as "Distinguished Service to the First Amendment, honoring Edward Willis Scripps."
1980s: Editorial Cartooning, Electronic Media, and Literacy
In 1980, Scripps Howard added the College Cartoonist Charles M. Schulz Award, which was "funded by United Features Syndicate ... to honor Charles M. Schulz on the 30th anniversary of his comic strip, Peanuts;" Schulz himself served as a judge in the award's early years.[8] After being presented for 30 years, the award was discontinued in 2011 "due to the lack of entries to merit its continuance."[9]
In 1985, Electronic Media — radio and television — began being represented, each broken into two sub-categories — large market and small market; so, four new awards. In 1991, the TV division was renamed "TV/Cable" and in 2004, the Electronic Media Awards did away with the market categories, reducing the prizes awarded each year to two. In 2009, the Electronic Media Award was restructured as the Jack R. Howard Award for In-Depth Radio Coverage, later amended to "Excellence in Radio/Podcast Coverage, honoring Jack R. Howard." In 2022, the award was renamed "Excellence in Audio Storytelling, honoring Jack R. Howard".
In 1986, a new award, the Literacy Charles E. Scripps Award, began being presented, given "to any daily broadcast and/or newspaper or local cable system in the U.S. or its territories for most outstanding effort ... to overcome illiteracy in its community."[10] The separate awards for broadcast and newspaper outlets were abandoned in 1997 (reducing two prizes to one), and the award itself was discontinued after 2003.
1990s: five new awards
In 1997–1999, Scripps Howard added five new categories to the National Journalism Awards (three of which have since been discontinued). The Commentary award lasted from 1997 to 2014; while the award for Excellence in Photojournalism, also launched in 1997, was renamed in 2017 as Excellence in Visual Journalism ("the visual documenting of some of the year’s most complex issues and events").[11] As of 2022, it is currently awarded as "Visual Human-Interest Storytelling."
In 1998, a new award debuted: the Business/Economics Reporting William Brewster Styles Award, recognizing "the long-time business editor for The Cincinnati Post."[12] The award is currently called "Excellence in Business/Financial Reporting."
1999 saw two new awards join the list: Editorial Cartooning and Web Reporting;[13] both of which have since been discontinued. Editorial Cartooning lasted from 1999 to 2011, while Web Reporting lasted from 1999 to 2008.

Washington Reporting Raymond Clapper Award
Reporter and Scripps Howard columnist Raymond Clapper died in 1944 during World War II while covering the U.S. invasion of the Marshall Islands. Following his death, the Raymond Clapper Memorial Association was incorporated on March 10, 1944, in Washington, D.C. "to perpetuate the memory of Clapper"[28] through the Raymond Clapper Memorial Award,[29] which was presented annually "to a journalist or team for distinguished Washington reporting."[30] The White House Correspondents' Association, and sometimes the American Society of Newspaper Editors, distributed the Raymond Clapper Award from 1944 to 2003, at which point it passed to the National Journalism Awards.[30] Under Scripps Howard, the Washington Reporting Raymond Clapper Award was presented from 2004 to 2011, at which point it was discontinued.
