Payne Award for Ethics in Journalism

Payne Award for Ethics in Journalism

The Payne Awards for Ethics in Journalism were created at the University of Oregon's School of Journalism & Communications in 1999. In the words of the school's dean, Tim Gleason, the awards were created "to honor the journalist of integrity and character who reports with insight and clarity in the face of political or economic pressures and to reward performance that inspires public trust in the media."
