Overview
As the U.S. population gets older, the National Press Foundation established this award, sponsored by AARP, in 2023 to recognize excellence in reporting on issues related to aging. The award seeks to encourage journalists to cover the challenges and opportunities for people and society in the face of significant demographic trends.
Reward
The award carries two $5,000 prizes, one for work appearing in a large media outlet and one for work appearing in a small or regional outlet (averaging fewer than 15 million monthly visits to its website).
Eligibility
Open to all US journalists.
Application Requirements
Online application.
