The Esserman-Knight Journalism Awards celebrates and encourages outstanding investigative and public service reporting in South Florida. Now in its fifth consecutive year, the awards honor journalists who take risks to expose injustice and demand accountability in order to support a more engaged and informed South Florida community.
The 2024 awards recipients and finalists are stunning examples of journalism that serves the public by holding power to account, shedding light on a pervasive or underreported community problem or breaking new ground on an issue.
Works were judged by the quality of analysis and storytelling, rigor of newsgathering, inclusion of community voices and impact on public understanding or action. Winners receive $10,000 for first place, $5,000 for second place and $1,000 for honorable mention prizes.
Each year, the program also recognizes one individual as the Esserman-Knight Excellence in Journalism Honoree for their enduring commitment to the South Florida community.
