The Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) New America Award honors public service journalism that explores and exposes issues of importance to immigrant or ethnic communities in the United States. Although not required, collaboration with ethnic media is taken into account.

To be eligible, work must have been published or broadcast during the 2024 calendar year. SPJ welcomes entries from media outlets, journalists, community and issue advocacy groups, individuals and others concerned with ethnic issues.

A single winner will be chosen by the judges in categories Audio, TV and Print/Online. In the latter category, Cicero Independiente and MuckRock won in 2024 for “The Air We Breathe,” an investigation into air pollution in Cicero, Illinois.

Deadline: March 11, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. ET (opens December 1, 2024)
