Nominees for the Livingston Awards for Young Journalists were announced today. The annual prizes recognize reporting by reporters under 35.
This year’s list is pretty big. Unfortunately, the website didn’t include links to the entries, so I spent my evening digging around.
After all, one of the best ways to learn any craft is to study what others do.
Winners of the $10,000 prizes for local, national and international reporting will be announced June 3, 2009.
If you find better links to content that should be included on this list, leave a comment and I’ll update the list.
