Let these efforts fuel more ideas about journalism's role in today's society. The winners were selected from 90 entries, including many efforts aimed at involving citizens and candidates in deeper discussions of the issues during the 1996 elections. The winners will receive their awards on May 14 in Washington, D.C. at the annual James K. Batten Symposium. This year's symposium will feature a panel of noted journalists discussing newsroom change. The winners were selected by a board of respected journalists, headed by Thomas Winship, Editor Emeritus of The Boston Globe and Chairman of the International Center for Journalism.
