Hall of Fame Inductees

The Cincinnati Professional Chapter created a Cincinnati Journalism Hall of Fame in 1990 to recognize the achievements of past and present journalists. To be considered, the journalist must have made significant contributions to the quality of journalism in Cincinnati. Nominations are accepted from any source. Nominees are selected by the current board and recognized at the annual Awards of Excellence banquet as well as on a commemorative plaque.
