Deadline extended for nominations: The Endocrine Society’s Award for Excellence in Science and Medical Journalism

Journalists have a few extra days to enter the 13th annual Award for Excellence in Science and Medical Journalism. Entries will be accepted through Friday, December 13, 2018.

The award recognizes outstanding reporting that enhances public understanding of health issues pertaining to the field of endocrinology. The winner will receive complimentary travel and hotel accommodations to attend ENDO 2020, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting, in San Fransisco, Calif.

Endocrinologists are specialists who are physicians and scientists who untangle complex symptoms to diagnose, treat, and research or cure hormone-related conditions. Examples of these conditions include diabetes, thyroid disorders, obesity, endocrine cancer, growth problems, reproduction, infertility and rare diseases, among others.

The award is open to all credentialed journalists in print (both “hard copy” and electronic) or broadcast. Candidates can self-nominate or be nominated by someone else. Only one nomination is permitted for each nominee. Media outlets are limited to three entries. Submissions can include any work first published between December 1, 2018 and October 31, 2019.

Weight will be given to entries that contribute to the public understanding of endocrinology and demonstrate thorough research, accurate reporting and originality.

To apply, please complete the nomination form and submit a digital copy of the article/work, whether published or taped. More information can be found at endocrine.org/news-and-advocacy/news-room/journalism-award. Submissions also can be emailed to [email protected].
