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 2023 journalist of the year. We ask that nominations focus on a journalist’s coverage or work on a particular story or topic in 2022. Submissions will be accepted through Friday, April 28.

Recent awardees include Vicente Calderón of Tijuana Press, Union-Tribune’s Paul Sisson, KPBS’s Claire Trageser and author and columnist Jean Guerrero.
