2024 Osborn Elliott Journalism Prize

The 2024 Osborn Elliott Journalism Prize is awarded annually to a reporter or team for the finest journalism about Asia, focusing on the 2023 calendar year.

The Prize for Excellence in Journalism on Asia, also referred to as the “Oz Prize,” honors the late Osborn Elliott, a legendary journalist and former editor-in-chief of Newsweek. Elliott set new standards for reporting and editing, and became one of the earliest practitioners of “civic journalism,” the deliberate focusing of the journalistic enterprise on urgent issues of public policy.
