We will also present these featured awards:

MLK50: Justice Through Journalism, an award-winning nonprofit newsroom focused on the intersection of poverty, power and policy, will receive the Lorraine Branham IDEA Award. Accepting the award will be founding editor and publisher Wendi C. Thomas. Named in in honor of late Newhouse Dean Emerita Lorraine Branham, the IDEA Award recognizes a media organization that has worked to promote inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility over the previous year.
