Updated Tue Feb 18, 2025

THE 2025 NPF AWARDS DINNER WAS SOLD OUT. Thank you to all of our sponsors and individual attendees for supporting NPF’s mission of “making good journalists better.”

The National Press Foundation’s annual journalism awards dinner honored top journalists on Thursday, February 20, 2025, at the Ritz-Carlton Washington, D.C.

The dinner brought together nearly 700 journalists, communications professionals, philanthropists, policymakers and other influencers to celebrate the best in journalism. All proceeds go to support NPF’s mission of “making good journalists better,” specifically our flagship journalism training programs, the Paul Miller Washington Reporting Fellowship and the Widening the Pipeline Fellowship for journalists of color. Established in 1975, the National Press Foundation also celebrates our 50th anniversary this year.
