Each year, the Center for Journalism Integrity & Excellence honors two journalists — one being a DePaul graduate — whose work embodies the highest principles of journalism, including truth, accuracy, fairness and context.
Both awards are typically presented each spring. Award recipients speak at the award luncheon and also meet Advanced Reporting students to share their experiences as journalists.
