The National Press Foundation is a non-profit organization (NGO) that provides training for journalists and awards excellence in journalism. The Foundation was established in Washington, D.C. in 1976.
Activities
NPF gives awards for achievement in print, broadcast and online journalism at its Annual Awards Dinner, held every February. The dinner is the foundation's largest source of unrestricted revenue. The awards include Ben Bradlee Editor of the Year Award, Sol Taishoff Award for Excellence in Broadcast Journalism, the Everett McKinley Dirksen Awards for Distinguished Reporting of Congress, the Berryman Award for Editorial Cartoons, Excellence in Online Journalism, the Chairman's Citation and Kiplinger Distinguished Contributions to Journalism. National Press Foundation award winners often go on to win Pulitzer Prizes.
In 2004 the National Press Foundation presented its Broadcaster of the Year Award to Brit Hume. The award generated some controversy. Geneva Overholser, head of the University of Missouri's Washington journalism program, resigned from the Foundation's board in protest. She accused Hume of practicing "ideologically connected journalism" and said "he did not deserve the award".
