Every year, the San Diego Pro Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists honors a local journalist whose work had a major impact in our San Diego community. We’re now accepting nominations for the 2022 journalist of the year. We ask that the nomination focuses on a journalist’s coverage of a particular story or topic in 2021.

Recent awardees include the Union-Tribune’s Paul Sisson, KPBS’s Claire Trageser and author and columnist Jean Guerrero.
