Why the asterisks? The Scripps Howard Fund made changes to five categories this year “to better align with the journalism industry.”
The awards honor work from television stations, networks, radio and podcasts, visual media, online media outlets, independent producers, newspapers and other print publications.
Finalists will be announced in September, with winners announced in October during a special program airing on Scripps News (formerly Newsy), the Scripps-owned diginet.
