CINCINNATI, Feb. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Collaboration among news organizations, a focus on climate change and dogged investigations that held the powerful accountable are pervasive themes among finalists of the 2019 Scripps Howard Awards. 

The Washington Post was the front-runner, with seven finalists across six categories. ProPublica had two finalists and was part of several joint reporting projects through its Local Reporting Network.  Collaborations between the Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News, National Public Radio and the University of Maryland Howard Center for Investigative Journalism and at newsrooms across California led to recognized work across categories.

A panel of veteran journalists and media industry leaders convened Feb. 20-21 at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies in St. Petersburg, Florida, to judge entries for the competition, which honors the best in journalism from the previous year. The impartial panel selected the list of finalists in 15 categories from among 897 entries.

"The hundreds of entries submitted this year are proof that the passion for this work has not waned," said Liz Carter, president and CEO of the Scripps Howard Foundation. "Our 2019 finalists share a commitment to holding the powerful accountable – whether that's large government agencies, local public officials or businesses.
