Barlett & Steele Awards now accepting entries

The Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism celebrates the best in print and online investigative business journalism each year with the Barlett & Steele Awards for Investigative Business Journalism.

Named for two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Don Barlett and Jim Steele, the awards were first given in 2007 and have featured a gold award of $5,000 and a silver prize of $2,000. Due to the growing number of exceptional submissions each year, a bronze award of $1,000 was added in 2011.

Entries for the 2014 award must have appeared in the year ending June 30, 2014. Each media outlet may submit no more than two entries. Submission deadline is Aug. 1, 2014, at 11:59 p.m. PT

Judges will be looking for investigative enterprise, strong business theme, elegant writing style, clarity and impact.

The awards will be conferred in November at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication in Phoenix.
