Schorr prize offered to rising young journalists

One of the legacies inspired by the late broadcast journalist’s career is the Daniel Schorr Journalism Prize, now seeking contenders for the ninth year. Boston’s WBUR will award the $5,000 prize to the journalist, age 35 or younger (as of June 30, 2010) who’s principally responsible for a news story or segment “of significance and quality  . . . that celebrates the new generation of journalists in public radio” (that aired the 12 months before that date on a CPB-qualified pubradio station.) One entry per journalist. Entry deadline: Sept. 17. Details here.
