George Polk


Every year, Long Island University hands out awards to reporters and news organizations they deem to have achieved excellence in print or broadcast journalism.

Cision PR Newswire:

"The Polk Awards recognize the changing landscape of news," said John Darnton, curator of the awards. "The story of a person who in all likelihood is wrongly convicted is tried and true. But the podcast, as a delivery vehicle spread over multiple episodes that makes listeners feel it is unfolding in real time right before their ears, is a new and exciting reincarnation."

Darnton noted that the judges had reviewed 554 submissions, a record number since the Polk Awards began. "Few years have been as fruitful as this one," he added. "These winners tell us that the best of our journalists remain resilient, courageous, dedicated and undeterred by attacks on their ability and integrity."



It's awards season again, and for the 23rd year in a row - since its inception - DumFux News came up short. Again. 


0 for 23 Lifetime
(let's just say you're not goin' to the Hall Of Fame on those numbers)
