Cutting through clouds of misinformation, The Newswomen’s Club of New York Announces its 2022 Front Page Award Winners

The Front Page Awards, presented since 1937 by the Newswomen’s Club of New York, recognizes journalistic excellence among women. 

In a year spent fighting for facts, New York City’s newswomen prevailed. With “gaslighting” crowned Merriam-Webster’s word of the year, these intrepid reporters strove to unmask lies, reveal truths, and demand transparency, as we have for the past hundred years. Fierce, probing journalists exposed horrific prison conditions, wove intricate portraits of life in communities of color, and stripped the veil of misinformation from cogent issues such as coronavirus vaccines and election denial. 

It was a year of questions. The pandemic was over. Or was it? To mask, or not to mask? What would happen to those who orchestrated the Jan. 6 insurrection? How, and when, will Russia’s invasion of Ukraine end, and what are the conditions in both countries as a result of the war? Our newswomen set out to answer them. 

The 85th annual Front Page Awards pay tribute to exceptional newswomen at more than two dozen local, regional, and national outlets across the New York metropolitan area. 

The 2022 Front Page Awards will be presented in person for the first time since before the pandemic, at the New York Athletic Club on Jan. 26, 2023. You can follow the Awards through the Newswomen’s Club of New York on Twitter, @NYNewswomen , and Instagram, @nynewswomenclub.
