Edward B. Bunn Awards 2023-24 | Journalism Program

At the end of each academic year, Georgetown’s Journalism Program recognizes the best student journalism through the Edward B. Bunn Awards for Journalistic Excellence. Georgetown campus publications are invited to submit their best News, Features, Opinion, and Arts and Culture writing, along with photography and multimedia work. A panel of journalism professors and distinguished journalist alumni chooses the top three pieces in each category. On April 29, Georgetown’s Journalism Program gathered to recognize that work.
