The deadline for the $50,000 Understanding Government Prize for Preventive Journalism is fast approaching — entries are due July 15.  Articles (individual or series) must have been published in a U.S. newspaper or periodical between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008 and must describe significant social problems and analyze potential solutions.  Thus, relevant topics will include:

– emerging problems that threaten to explode into major crises or

– existing public problems that can only be resolved through fresh approaches. 

Articles must assess government’s role in handling the problem.  

The award ceremony will be held in September 2008 in Washington, D.C.  For more information please click here or call Ned Hodgman at (202) 783-2439.
