The entry window for CancerWorld magazine’s annual journalism award closes soon (May 1), so any journalists who have done in-depth or investigative pieces on cancer are encouraged to get their entries in soon.
The categories for the award are patient and carer experience; research, science and treatment; policy, services and affordability; and prevention. The award is open to print, online, radio, video and television journalists, and seeks entries “that move beyond documenting experience, science, policy and practice. We want to find work that challenges, addresses urgent questions, increases awareness and prompts change. We are particularly looking for serious investigative journalism.”
