The 11th Annual Washington Women in Journalism Awards, co-hosted by Story Partners and Washingtonian, will honor four female journalists in our nation’s capital. The event, which kicks off the White House Correspondents’ Dinner weekend, will take place on Thursday, April 25.
According to Gloria Story Dittus, Chair, Story Partners: “The role of women journalists in ensuring an inclusive media landscape cannot be understated. That is why we must continue to celebrate the invaluable contributions and the continued strides being made by women in journalism in a traditionally male-dominated media industry,
“I’m honored to join my co-host, Washingtonian CEO Cathy Merrill, and our guests as we recognize and celebrate this year’s honorees:
- Vox Media and podcaster Kara Swisher with the Hall of Fame Achievement Award
- ABC’s Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott as Outstanding Journalist in Broadcast Television
- The Washington Post’s National Investigative Reporter Carol Leonnig as Outstanding Journalist in Print
- Politico’s National Political Correspondent Meridith McGraw as a Star to Watch
“Journalism is a cornerstone of democracy, especially in today’s political environment, where truth and transparency have never been more crucial. Through their unwavering commitment to journalistic integrity, this year’s esteemed honorees are guardians of truth, ensuring balanced and trustworthy reporting of news from our nation’s capital. Kara, Rachel, Carol, and Meridith not only set the bar high for today’s reporters but also inspire and guide the aspiring journalists of tomorrow, and we look forward to celebrating their invaluable contributions to the field of journalism at this year’s event.”
