Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award

Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award

The Robert F. Kennedy Award for Excellence in Journalism is a journalism award named after Robert F. Kennedy and known as "the poor man's Pulitzer." [http://www.rfkmemorial.org/legacyinaction/journalismawards/ Robert F Kennedy Memorial ] ] The award was established in December 1968 by a group of reporters who covered Kennedy's campaigns.

A panel of six journalists determines the nominations, which are then judged by a group of 50 journalists. Ethel Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy's widow, is also involved in the process; in the past, she has called certain winners to tell them they will be receiving the award. In 2003, for example, she called Victoria Williams at Duncanville High School.Fact|date=February 2007
