NPF judges said: “In an extraordinary career spanning a half century, Clarence Page has distinguished himself in every medium in a rapidly changing news media environment – reporter and editor for newspapers and television, syndicated columnist, book author and social media. Page’s Pulitzer Prize-winning columns tackle the thorniest issues of the day – from immigration to discrimination – with good humor and humility. For his multi-faceted career, Clarence Page is richly deserving of the W.M. Kiplinger Distinguished Contributions to Journalism Award.”

“I am delightfully surprised and honored to receive this award, especially now when our profession and press freedoms are under fire,” Page said. “I accept on behalf of all journalists working hard to protect the public’s right to know and hold our leaders accountable.”

The National Press Foundation created the W.M. Kiplinger Distinguished Contributions to Journalism Award to honor people who have, through their vision and leadership, strengthened American journalism and furthered the efforts to establish the highest quality in American journalism.

The National Press Foundation is an independent nonprofit that is run by and for journalists. NPF’s sole mission is to educate journalists about today’s most pressing issues and critical toolbox training.
