Harry Chapin Media Awards
The Harry Chapin Media Awards, formerly the World Hunger Media Awards, were created in 1982 to encourage the media to “tell the story of hunger and poverty.” The Media Awards honor print and electronic media for their outstanding coverage that positively impacts hunger, poverty and self-reliance. The Media Awards also honor work that focuses on the causes of hunger and poverty and the forces creating self-reliance. This includes work on economic inequality and insecurity, unemployment, homelessness, domestic and international policies and their reform, community empowerment, sustainable development, food production, agriculture, nutrition and the struggle for land.
The Awards cover six media categories:
* Newspaper
* Magazines
* Broadcast
* Radio
* Photojournalism
* Books
Deadline: February 1
