ABOUT THE MIRROR AWARDS
A free press is one of the cornerstones of our
democracy, and one of the defining characteristics
of our country. But journalism is increasingly under
attack. We are compelled now, more than ever, to
examine the media industry and to recognize and
honor the role of the journalist.

The Mirror Awards are the most important awards for
recognizing excellence in media industry reporting.
Established in 2006 by Syracuse University’s
Newhouse School, they honor the reporters,
editors and teams of writers who hold a
mirror to their own industry for the public’s
benefit. The annual awards are celebrated
each June at a ceremony in New York City.

                    Sheila Nevins of HBO Documentary Films
                                       was honored with the
                            Fred Dressler Leadership Award
                     at the 2018 Mirror Awards ceremony.
