RTCA Award Submission Deadline Approaching

Radio & TV Correspondents’ Association Chair Heather Dahl reminds us this evening that the deadline for submissions for the 2009 Barone and Bloom Awards is this Friday, April 3rd.

All submissions must be hand-delivered to the Senate Radio-TV Gallery and the winners will be announced, as always, at the annual dinner Thursday, June 4th.

The Joan Shorenstein Barone Award is in honor of the former CBS “Face the Nation” executive producer and is presented for excellence in Washington-based reporting of Congressional and political affairs. The David Bloom Award honors the late NBC correspondent and anchor by recognizing excellence and courage in enterprise, investigative or feature reporting.
