The Society of Professional Journalists is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2010 Sigma Delta Chi Awards for excellence in journalism. Judges chose the winners from over 1,400 entries in categories covering print, radio, television and online. The awards recognize outstanding work published or broadcast in 2010.

Dating back to 1932, the awards originally honored six individuals for contributions to journalism. The current program began in 1939, when the Society granted the first Distinguished Service Awards. The honors later became the Sigma Delta Chi Awards.

The awards banquet will take place Sept. 24 in New Orleans.

Founded in 1909 as Sigma Delta Chi, SPJ promotes the free flow of information vital to a well- informed citizenry; works to inspire and educate the next generation of journalists; and protects First Amendment guarantees of freedom of speech and press.

Gifts to SPJ and local chapters are not considered charitable contributions and, thus, are not deductible. Only 501(c)(3) charitable organizations — like the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation — can offer donors a tax deduction. Recognizing this as an opportunity to add real value to the SPJ experience, the SDX Foundation board of directors is announcing a unique program to allow chapters to create their own special "account" within the foundation. Find out how your chapter can benefit.

You are invited to join the SDX Foundation in its work to improve and protect journalism. Your donation — large or small — can make a tremendous difference.

The Sigma Delta Chi Foundation presents the Eugene S. Pulliam First Amendment Award to honor a person or persons who have fought to protect and preserve one or more of the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment.

Annually, the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation awards about $300,000 in grant monies. Most awards go to SPJ and SPJ-related projects to further align with the work of the Society. Other journalism-related projects that help to fulfill the Foundation's mission may receive support if funds are available.
