Established in 2016, the Stephen B. Shepard Prize for Investigative Reporting honors a deserving graduate of the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY.
This prize will be awarded to a Newmark J-School graduate who has produced the best investigative work in 2023. The honoree will receive $5,000, generously funded by The Tow Foundation. The award is named for Founding Dean Stephen Shepard.
Any student who has graduated from the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY from any of our programs, from the classes of 2007 to 2022, is eligible to self-nominate or nominate a classmate for this prize, provided the work was published in 2023 (in any medium) and after the student graduated.
The winner will be chosen by a committee that includes Newmark J-School faculty and staff. Nominees’ work will be judged on subject importance, originality, reporting, writing and presentation.
The deadline for submitting nominations is Feb. 29, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
